Understanding Funding Periods

What is a Funding Period?

A funding period represents a term during which funding claims are made. Typically aligned with school terms:

• Spring Term - January to March
• Summer Term - April to July
• Autumn Term - September to December

Key Dates

Each funding period has:

• Start Date - When the period begins
• End Date - When the period ends
• Submission Deadline - Last date to submit claims to local authority

Active Periods

Only one period should be 'active' at a time. The active period is the default when creating new submissions.
