Teachers in all schools are therefore free to discuss environmental topics such as poaching and the ivory trade.</p><p>The National Curriculum is compulsory in maintained schools, and academies and free schools can use it as a benchmark.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/10/2017 answer text <p>We have considered carefully all the responses to the consultation. The final formula we have now announced is the result of that process. A summary of the responses to the consultation, and how they have been taken into account in the final formula, is available at <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/schools-national-funding-formula-stage-2" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/schools-national-funding-formula-stage-2</a>.</p><p> </p><p>The importance of ensuring stability for all schools was a consistent message through the consultation. As a consequence, we are ensuring that all schools, and all areas, will attract additional funding over the next two years, while providing for up to 6% gains, per pupil, for underfunded schools by 2019-20 – and more for some of the lowest funded. We believe that this balance of fairness and stability is the best way to distribute funding to local authorities for their most vulnerable children and young people.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 09/10/2017 08:10:59 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/10/2017 answer text <p>Local authorities are responsible for ensuring there are sufficient school places for pupils. The Department collects pupil forecasts and school capacities from each local authority through the annual school capacity survey (SCAP). This data is used to allocate capital funding to local authorities to help them provide sufficient school places where they are needed. The Department’s Pupil Place Planning team then work with local authorities to determine that those places are in fact being created.</p><p> </p><p>The capacity and forecast data are published on an annual basis, giving local authority and regional totals, through the SCAP tables. From the latest published data giving the position at May 2016, Wolverhampton Local Authority had 24,296 places at primary schools and 22,172 pupils on roll at primary schools. Further information can be found at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/school-capacity-academic-year-2015-to-2016" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/school-capacity-academic-year-2015-to-2016</a>.</p><p> </p><p>The Department also publishes school place scorecards to show the challenges that local authorities are facing, together with the progress that they are making in providing sufficient good quality school places. The latest published scorecards show that an estimated 200 primary places are needed in Wolverhampton Local Authority to meet demand in 2018/19. This figure is based on demand in separate planning areas within the local authority.
