Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how much funding his Department has allocated to the Extended Schools Programme in each year since 2006.
The specific funding allocations for extended schools in each financial year from 2006-2007 and 2010-2011 are laid out in the table below:
Funding for extended schools | |
Financial year | Allocation (£ millions) |
2006-2007 | 66.879 |
2007-2008 | 64.574 |
2008-2009 | 80.569 |
2009-2010 | 172.334 |
2010-2011 | 356.417 |
In 2011-2012, £356.417 million was transferred into the Dedicated Schools Grant as part of the Government’s aim to minimise the number of separate grants in the school funding system.
