Schools across the South East have been told how their funding will be calculated by the government.
The new formula, announced today to replace that originally published in July, now includes a minimum amount for each pupil, on average £3,500 in primary schools and £4,800 in secondaries.
For East Sussex the Department for Education says those numbers are likely to be £3,723 and £4,941 per pupil.
In West Sussex it's £3,677 and £4,756 a head.
