answer text <p>The Department’s guidance to schools makes clear that when recruiting staff, employers and governing bodies must be aware of their responsibilities set out in the Equality Act 2010. Schools must not discriminate directly or indirectly against any prospective employee on the basis of any protected characteristic (including age, race, sex or disability) in relation to appointments, pay and conditions.</p> more like this

answer text <p>This year, in 2017-18, the average per pupil funding amount for schools in the City of Bristol local authority, provided through the Schools Block of the Dedicated School Grant is £4,684. This is an average amount across both primary and secondary schools in the local authority area. The distribution of funding between schools (including the balance between primary and secondary schools) is a matter for local discretion. Decisions about school funding in future years will be subject to the outcome of the national funding formula consultation. In the consultation, we made available data illustrating the amount each school would have received if the proposed formula had been implemented in full in 2016-17, and a projection of schools’ allocations in the first year of transition. This data is published at <a href="https://consult.education.gov.uk/funding-policy-unit/schools-national-funding-formula2/" target="_blank">https://consult.education.gov.uk/funding-policy-unit/schools-national-funding-formula2/</a>.</p>

answer text <p>The Department does not collect data about the number of schools that are teaching creationism. Creationism does not accord with the scientific consensus or the very large body of established scientific evidence; nor does it accurately and consistently employ the scientific method. Outside of science lessons, there is scope for young people to discuss beliefs about the origins of the Earth and living things in religious education, providing that these discussions do not undermine the teaching of the established scientific consensus around evolution.</p><p> </p><p>The Government expects pupils in all state funded schools to study the nature of, and evidence for, evolution by the end of Key Stage 4. The Government’s expectations are set out in the National Curriculum, which maintained schools are required to follow, and in the funding agreements to which academies must adhere. The Department investigates complaints made about schools that are teaching creationism as a scientific theory contrary to the National Curriculum or their funding agreement.</p>

answer text <p>We want schools to have the resources they need, and through our careful management of the economy we have been able to protect the core schools budget in real terms. School funding is now at its highest level on record at almost £41bn in 2017-18 - and that is set to rise, as pupil numbers rise, to £42 billion by 2019-20.</p><p> </p><p>We are going to end the historic post code lottery in school funding and under the proposed national schools funding formula, more than half of England’s schools will receive a cash boost.</p><p> </p><p>Our proposals include significant protections so that no school would face reductions of more than 1.5% per year or 3% overall per pupil as a result of this formula, and on high needs funding for pupils with special education needs and disabilities, no area would lose funding at all.</p><p> </p><p>We recognise the increasing cost pressures schools are facing and will continue to provide advice and support to help them use their funding in cost effective ways, and improve the way they buy goods and services, so‎ they get the best possible value for their pupils.

answer text <p>Cooking and nutrition are taught as part of the design and technology programme of study for Key Stage 1 to 3 in the National Curriculum. The National Curriculum is compulsory in maintained schools and can be used as a benchmark by academies and free schools.</p><p> </p><p>Within the programme of study, pupils are taught about food and nutrition and how to cook a range of healthy and nutritious meals. They are equipped with knowledge about healthy eating, what is meant by a balanced diet as well as how to feed themselves and others affordably and well.</p><p> </p><p>In September 2016, we also introduced a new GCSE in Food Preparation and Nutrition. The new GCSE enables pupils to acquire an understanding of the scientific principles behind food and nutrition, and use a number of practical cooking techniques to prepare and cook food.
