capture all the data required by ESFA to calculate academy budgets, including information on the number of occupied high needs places at special units and resourced provision in mainstream academies, to determine the place-funding rate.allow local authorities to model different options for their SBF formulae and to act as the proforma, which is submitted to ESFA in January of each year - it is also the mechanism by which ESFA provides the schools block dataset to local authorities.This publication provides non-statutory guidance from the Department for Education (DfE). The current APT is an updated version of last year’s APT for communicating formulae and SBF allocations with ESFA. This guidance document covers the APT background and purpose and the APT structure and key components. ‘ How to complete the authority proforma tool’ guides the user on how to complete the APT, whereas this publication contains the theory behind the APT and will therefore aid understanding. This guidance is designed to be used in tandem with ‘ How to complete the authority proforma tool’ however, it is recommended that this publication is reviewed first. The Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA) has developed the authority proforma tool (APT) to assist local authorities to model, and then confirm how they plan to do this for the funding year. Each year, local authorities are required to detail their schools block funding (SBF) formulae in accordance with the arrangements set out by the Secretary of State (SoS) for Education.
