Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how much (a) revenue and (b) capital funding was provided to each pupil in state (i) primary and (ii) secondary schools in East Sussex (A) in cash terms and (B) at 2015 prices in each financial year since 2005-06.
Average per pupil revenue funding figures for Gloucestershire, Essex, Hampshire and East Sussex are given below. With the introduction of the dedicated schools grant (DSG) in 2006-07, the changes to the funding mechanism meant figures were no longer available to be shown split by phase of education.
Figures for financial years 2005 to 2013 are shown below. These are in cash terms:
Average revenue per pupil funding (cash £) | 2005-06 (baseline) | 2006-07 | 2007-08 | 2008-09 | 2009-10 | 2010-11 | 2011-12 | 2012-13 |
Gloucestershire | 3,610 | 3,840 | 4,110 | 4,350 | 4,520 | 4,730 | 4,660 | 4,660 |
Essex | 3,760 | 3,980 | 4,240 | 4,440 | 4,620 | 4,860 | 4,820 | 4,820 |
Hampshire | 3,630 | 3,840 | 4,090 | 4,300 | 4,490 | 4,720 | 4,650 | 4,650 |
East Sussex | 3,860 | 4,070 | 4,370 | 4,560 | 4,740 | 4,980 | 4,910 | 4,910 |
These are in real terms using September 2015 GDP deflators in 2014-15 prices:
Average revenue per pupil funding (real £) | 2005-06 (baseline) | 2006-07 | 2007-08 | 2008-09 | 2009-10 | 2010-11 | 2011-12 | 2012-13 |
Gloucestershire | 4,430 | 4,580 | 4,760 | 4,910 | 4,980 | 5,060 | 4,920 | 4,830 |
Essex | 4,610 | 4,740 | 4,920 | 5,020 | 5,100 | 5,200 | 5,080 | 4,990 |
Hampshire | 4,450 | 4,570 | 4,750 | 4,850 | 4,950 | 5,050 | 4,900 | 4,810 |
East Sussex | 4,740 | 4,850 | 5,070 | 5,150 | 5,230 | 5,340 | 5,180 | 5,090 |
Per pupil figures are using DSG allocations plus other schools related grants, e.g. school standards grant, school standards grant (personalisation), standards fund, and pupils aged 3-15 rounded to the nearest £10. Most of the additional grants were mainstreamed into DSG in 2011-12.
The changes to DSG funding in financial year 2013 to 2014 with funding allocated through three blocks, namely schools, early years and high needs, means there is no longer a comparable overall figure with previous years. The tables below show the DSG schools block unit funding figures in cash and real terms for each LA.
DSG schools block per pupil funding (cash £) | 2013-2014 | 2014-2015 | 2015-2016 |
Gloucestershire | 4,203 | 4,203 | 4,358 |
Essex | 4,393 | 4,393 | 4,386 |
Hampshire | 4,277 | 4,277 | 4,269 |
East Sussex | 4,450 | 4,450 | 4,442 |
DSG schools block per pupil funding (real £[1] ) | 2013-2014 | 2014-2015 | 2015-2016 |

Since 2011-12 schools have received the Pupil Premium which targets funding at pupils from the most deprived backgrounds to help them achieve their full potential. In 2011-12, the Premium was allocated for each pupil known to be eligible for Free School Meals, looked after children and children of parents in the armed services. In 2012-13 coverage was expanded to include pupils known to have been eligible for Free School Meals at any point in the last six years. The amounts per pupil amounts for each type of pupil are shown in following table in cash terms:
Pupil Premium per pupil (£) | 2011-2012 | 2012-2013 | 2013-2014 | 2014-2015 | 2015-2016 |
Free School Meal Pupil Primary | £488 | £623 | £953 | £1323 | £1320 |
Free School Meal Pupil Secondary | £488 | £623 | £900 | £935 | £935 |
Service Children | £200 | £250 | £300 | £300 | £300 |
Looked After Children | £488 | £623 | £900 | £1900[2] | £1900[2] |

The table below shows capital funding for the financial years that are available. The data is in cash terms as allocations are phased across more than one year making real terms calculations meaningless. Complete information on the split of capital between phases of education is not held centrally.
