Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what (a) funding, (b) land, (c) property and (d) other investment her Department has provided to the Collective Spirit Free School in Oldham.

As with all free schools, Collective Spirit received a project development grant before the school was open and a post-opening grant after the school had opened. The details of these grants are published on GOV.UK: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/revenue-expenditure-for-free-schools

Since the school opened in 2013, the revenue funding of the school has been on a per-pupil basis equivalent to other schools in the local authority area.

We are currently in the process of confirming both the site acquisition and construction costs for this school. Costs will be published in due course on GOV.UK at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/capital-funding-for-open-free-schools
