Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how much (a) revenue and (b) capital funding in cash terms was provided per pupil in state (i) primary and (ii) secondary schools in Coventry South constituency in each of the last 18 financial years.

The revenue funding allocated for primary and secondary education for each financial year from 2000 to 2018 for Coventry local authority (LA) is shown in the attached table. Funding is not allocated separately for primary and secondary pupils.

Data for capital funding allocated to local areas prior to 2011/12 is not readily available. Coventry local authority has received around £75 million of core capital allocations from the Department for Education from 2011-12 to 2017-18 financial year. The Department’s total capital budget for education from 2011-12 to 2018-19 is over £39 billion, including budgeted spend for 2017-18 and 2018-19.

This covers condition allocations for maintained and voluntary aided schools, Devolved Formula Capital and basic need funding. It does not include other condition funding allocated directly to academies, sixth form colleges and Multi Academy Trusts (MAT) within their area. Larger MATs receive allocations and often allocate funding across constituency and LA boundaries. Funding for smaller or standalone trusts and sixth form colleges is also not included, as they are instead eligible for funding through the annual Condition Improvement Fund. Additional funding is also available through centrally delivered programmes, including the £4.4 billion Priority Schools Building Programme.

Published data on capital allocations is available on the GOV.UK website.
