Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how much core revenue funding (a) Willenhall Community Primary School, (b) Stretton CE Primary School and (c) Blue Coat Church of England School and Music College in Coventry South constituency received for (i) 2016-17 and (ii) 2017-18; and how much funding each of those schools is planned to receive for (A) 2019-20 and (B) 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.
School | 2016-17 funding |
Willenhall Community Primary School | £1,821,000 |
Stretton CE Primary School | £956,000 |
Blue Coat Church of England School and Music College | £5,962,000 |
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. 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.
