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.

The Department for Education says the figures for Kent will be £3,724 and £4,781 per pupil.

In the South East's two unitary authorities, Brighton and Hove will receive £3,858 and £5,026 for each primary and secondary child respectively, while Medway will receive £3,807 and £5,019 a head.

Kelly Turner, 17, from Dover, was diagnosed with desmoplastic small round cell tumour in 2015.
