A look at what the coalition government's 2010 Budget means for education, including the pupil premium and how it could affect schools.
Luke Sibieta of the Institute for Fiscal Studies, Lindsey Wharmby, a school funding expert, and Mary Bousted of the ATL discuss the pupil premium, where schools are given a financial incentive for taking on child from a disadvantaged background.
Presenter Mike Baker asks whether the change, promised in both the Conservative and Liberal Democrat manifestos, might lead to the introduction of a national funding formula.
Mike visits Bishop Challoner School in Tower Hamlets, where headteacher Catherine Myers OBE talks about what level of pupil premium would make a difference, and how the school would use the extra money.
Mike also looks at what the budget means for capital spending and the Building Schools for the Future programme.
