Schools in England face a significant cash loss from a change in the date for counting disadvantaged pupils eligible for extra support, says the Education Policy Institute.
The think tank warns using an earlier cut-off date to count free school meal pupils will miss many who have since become eligible in the pandemic.
This could lower schools allocations of pupil premium funding.
The Department for Education says an earlier date helps budget planning.
But head teachers have raised grave concerns that the change in timing will mean schools serving some of the poorest pupils will miss out on millions in funding, despite rising levels of need.
