Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, with reference to the Efficiency Review of 27 February 2017, what assessment she has made of the effect of the proposed six per cent budget savings on spending on schools.
As included in HM Treasury’s announcement of the Efficiency Review, the protected core schools budget does not come under the scope of the review. We are providing advice and support to help schools use their funding in cost effective ways, so they get the best possible value for their pupils.
