Schools self-select their own admissions category on Edubase. 163 schools are identified as ‘selective (grammar).’
The Department does not yet hold the income and expenditure data from 2015-16. The data will be available for those which are maintained by the local authority in December 2016, and for those which are academies in the summer of 2017.
The overall expenditure per pupil in grammar schools by each region for 2014-15 is listed in the following table:
Region | Number of grammar schools | Expenditure per pupil (£) |

England Total | 158* | 5,404 |
*Note: There are 5 selective schools which converted to academies during 2014-15 and as such we do not have comparable financial data for them for this period. The expenditure per pupil takes into account expenditure from all income sources, including self-generated income.
