Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, if he will revise the provisional funding allocations for schools for 2023-24 in order to provide ongoing financial support to schools with energy costs once the six-month energy bills support has ended.

Schools are eligible for the Energy Bill Relief Scheme, which will run until at least 31 March 2023. As my right hon. Friend, the Chancellor of the Exchequer announced in his statement on Monday 17 October, HM Treasury will lead a review to consider how to support households and businesses, including schools, from April 2023.

The Department continue to monitor the financial health of schools, along with other education providers including early years provision and colleges, carefully to ensure support is appropriately targeted to those most in need.
