Before we get into the second question, I understand that the cuts will be phased in over time resulting in unevendistribution of the cuts over the ten years.
Christine Blower, general secretary of the National Union of Teachers said the premium's "low rate and unevendistribution" meant it was not sufficient to protect schools against cuts to their funding.
The NAHT's poll of 806 schools in 137 English education authorities showed the distribution was uneven, as more than a quarter of them had received 8% or more extra this year.
