How much extra funding would an academy expect to receive from money that would normally go to the local authority?
The funding will be based on the level of local authority funding already calculated for the school, plus additions for central services that would normally be provided by the LA and to cover VAT. Grant payments to academies to replace local authority services depend on the level of central spend in the LA, and can vary considerably from area to area. Please see the ready reckoner which will give schools an estimate on the funding they might receive.
