Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, when his Department will issue information to local councils about how the Ukrainian refugee education funding will work.

We continue to work across government to ensure we are supporting all families and children arriving in the UK from Ukraine. The government has set out the funding tariffs for those arriving on the ‘Homes for Ukraine’ scheme, as below.

The funding will be on a per pupil basis for the three phases of education at the following annual rates:

• Early years (ages 2 to 4) - £3,000
• Primary (ages 5 to 11) - £6,580
• Secondary (ages 11 to 18) - £8,755

The department is currently working at pace to develop the methodology and mechanism for the allocation of this education funding for children and young people and will write to local authorities once this work is completed.

Further details on funding for this scheme, including the conditions, is available at https://www.gov.uk/guidance/homes-for-ukraine-guidance-for-councils.
