Inclusion Mainstream Fund Funding Calculator for Primary Schools
The Inclusive Mainstream Fund is a source of ring-fenced funding for schools in England.
For primary school leaders, the key question is simple: How much funding could my school receive, and how could we use it well?
That is why we have created the Inclusive Mainstream Fund Calculator.
It gives you a quick starting point for planning, helping you estimate your likely funding and see what may remain for wider inclusion priorities.
What Do Schools Need to Do?
The funding, which starts from June 2026, is intended to support inclusion and is linked to the requirement for schools to publish an inclusion strategy by 31 December 2026.
As a decision maker in a school, you may want to understand:
- What funding your school may receive
- How it could support inclusion
- How your current provision maps against inclusion priorities
- What support or documentation may help your planning
Our Inclusive Mainstream Fund Calculator makes that first step clearer.

How Much of our Inclusive Mainstream Fund Would myHappymind Belong Use?
The calculator helps you see how much funding your school will receive, and how much of your school’s estimated Inclusive Mainstream Fund allocation could be used for myHappymind Belong.
For many schools, myHappymind Belong utilises a small proportion of their overall Inclusive Mainstream funding, whilst delivering whole-school and intervention level impact, leaving the majority available for other inclusion priorities.
This could include:
- Classroom adaptations
- TA training
- Family engagement work
- Additional inclusion resources
- Wider SEND support
