answer text <p>The new School Food Standards came into force in January 2015 ensuring schools provide heathy meals throughout the week. The Department for Education provides guidance on the standards[1] and funds the implementation support service, including a menu checker service helping schools to provide hot, healthy menu choices for all their pupils. The School Food Plan website also provides a range of support and advice on providing healthy food in schools.[2]</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>[1] <a href="http://www.gov.uk/school-meals-healthy-eating-standards" target="_blank">www.gov.uk/school-meals-healthy-eating-standards</a></p><p>[2] <a href="http://whatworkswell.schoolfoodplan.com/" target="_blank">http://whatworkswell.schoolfoodplan.com/</a></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> more like this

answer text <p>Supporting the teaching profession and reducing unnecessary workload which can lead to stress is an absolute priority for the Department for Education. Our response to the Workload Challenge[1] set out a comprehensive programme of action to be taken at every level in the school system, and the department will continue to do everything it can to relieve unnecessary burdens on teaching professionals.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>School employers are responsible for the health of their workforce. It is vital that they have systems in place that identify and tackle the cause of stress in their staff and provide appropriate support for them. Headteachers also have a duty to promote the safety and wellbeing of staff and to lead and manage staff with a proper regard for their wellbeing. This includes the expectation of a healthy balance between work and other commitments outside the school.</p><p> </p><p>[1] <a href="http://www.gov.uk/government/publications/workload-challenge-for-schools-government-response" target="_blank">www.gov.uk/government/publications/workload-challenge-for-schools-government-response</a></p><p> </p>

answer text <p>To publish now the names of schools which applied for but were not allocated funding would be unfair to the local authorities and schools which are affected by the announcement. Those organisations will be considering the next steps for resolving their situations; these might involve finding alternative capital funding sources or non-capital solutions. Publishing the details now could lead to unwelcome pressure from potential suppliers whilst they are considering their options. It is reasonable to assume that all authorities and schools will have decided on the approach they will be taking forward by July.</p><p> </p> more like this

answer text <p>In 2014-15 the Department for Education allocated over £650 million to local authorities and their schools in capital funding to be spent on improving the condition of their school buildings. This was in addition to the approximately £750 million in funding we allocated to academies, academy trusts and other schools outside of local authority control for this purpose in 2014-15. Local authorities, academy trusts and schools themselves are best placed to judge when asbestos needs to be removed, or other works are necessary to make it safe, and can use this funding to carry out that work as required.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The department has recently announced £4.2 billion in funding for responsible bodies to spend on improving the condition of their school buildings during 2015-18.</p><p> </p> more like this
