Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how much core revenue funding Gilmour Junior School in Garston and Halewood constituency received for (a) 2016-17 and (b) 2017-18; and how much funding that school is planned to receive for (i) 2019-20 and (ii) 2020-21.
The Department primarily allocates revenue funding at local authority level.
The schools block allocation for individual schools for the 2016-17 financial year are published at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/schools-block-funding-allocations-2016-to-2017.
Further information can be found in the attached table.
Individual school allocations for 2017-18 will be published later this year. The formulae that local authorities have used to distribute funding to schools this year are published at:
https://www.gov.uk/guidance/schools-block-funding-formulae-2017-to-2018.
We recently consulted on a national funding formula for schools. We believe that the current funding arrangements are unfair and we remain committed to changing them.
We received over 25,000 responses to the consultation, which we are analysing in detail. We are grateful to all those who expressed their views on school funding and the proposed formula as part of this process. We will publish the response to the consultation in due course. Until then, we are unable to confirm the funding each school will receive in future years.
