question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how much was spent per pupil on improving the condition of school buildings in (a) Barnsley East constituency and (b) the UK on average in each year since 2010.
tabling member constituency	Barnsley East
tabling member printed	Stephanie Peacock
uin	2655
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/07/2017 answer text <p>The Department for Education does not hold data on condition funding for schools by constituency, and has responsibility for schools in England only. The Department has allocated over £9 billion in school condition funding nationally from 2011-12 to 2017-18. Allocations total £1.4 billion a year in every year from 2011-12 to 2017-18. In addition, the £4.4 billion Priority School Rebuilding Programme is rebuilding or refurbishing those school buildings in the worst condition across the country.</p><p>Barnsley East is part of Barnsley local authority, which received condition funding (including Devolved Formula Capital, provided directly to schools) of over £24 million from the 2011-12 to 2017-18 financial years, an average of £3.5 million per year. This totals £4.7 million in 2011-12, £4.1 million in 2012-13, £3.5 million in 2013-14, £2.7 million in 2014-15, £2.8 million in 2015-16, £3.4 million in 2016-17 and £3.5 million in 2017-18. Local authorities decide how allocations are distributed to maintained schools in their areas. These amounts do not include allocations made to academies in the area. As academy trusts often allocate funding across local-authority boundaries, it is not possible to calculate condition funding per pupil for a local area.</p><p>Details on current and future school condition allocations are published here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/capital-allocations" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/capital-allocations</a>.</p><p>A breakdown of Devolved Formula Capital funding by institution is available for 2017-18: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/capital-allocations" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/capital-allocations</a>.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 24/07/2017 17:57:24 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb
