DfE, on behalf of the Secretary of State for Education, will pay the CSBG funding to local authorities for maintained special schools and pupil referral units, special and AP academies, independent special schools, special post-16 institutions (SPIs), independent learning providers and providers of hospital education.

Non-maintained special schools (NMSS) will be funded directly by DfE.
