Hi Rebecca,
Congratulations on the new post.
Funding mainly depends on your Local Authority and their funding brackets as well as your SEND Notional Budget (usually around £6000 mark but again varies with school and LA).
Some LA then run a ‘top up’ system to add to the notional budget before you apply for higher level funding in the form of an EHCP.
Your Local Authority should have some SENCo days running where they provide updates as to the financial structure and if they don’t, I would make contact with your LA link/ specialist services.
Does that help?
