Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what the total additional premium funding paid to maintained schools to help pupils from families serving in the armed forces will be in 2014-15.

All pupils classed as service children under the school census in England attract the Service Pupil Premium funding and this is paid directly to state-funded schools. For financial year 2014 to 2015, the final allocation will be £19.3 million. This figure is based on data collected in the January 2014 school census.
