answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/06/2018 answer text <p>The answer given in response to the Topical Question of 14 May referred to the changes being introduced to the Progress 8 methodology in 2018 to limit the impact that a small number of pupils with extremely negative progress scores can have on a school’s overall score. The Department set out further information on this change in the secondary accountability guidance, published in January 2018. The Department continues to listen to feedback from school leaders and other stakeholders on Progress 8 and to monitor patterns in entries and results, as part of ongoing work to keep all secondary school performance measures under review. My right hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Education announced on 4 May further clarification to the accountability system so that schools can be clear that no mandatory intervention will follow from a progress score. The secondary accountability guidance is available to view here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/progress-8-school-performance-measure" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/progress-8-school-performance-measure</a>.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 04/06/2018 13:47:41 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

uin	147815
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/06/2018 answer text <p>School funding is at its highest ever level with core funding for schools and high needs having risen from almost £41 billion in 2017-18 to £42.4 billion this year and £43.5 billion in 2019-20.</p><p> </p><p>The Department primarily allocates revenue funding for schools at local authority level. Schools in Halton will attract 4.7% more funding, compared to their 2017-18 baselines, under the national funding formula. Local authorities will continue to set local formulae to determine individual schools’ budgets in 2018-19 and 2019-20. It remains the Department’s intention that every school’s budget should be set on the basis of a single, national formula, but the Department believes a period of transition will provide greater stability for schools.</p><p> </p><p>The Department will publish notional funding formula allocations for 2019-20 later this year after updating calculations using the latest autumn census data.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 04/06/2018 09:31:38 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/06/2018 answer text <p>It is the responsibility of schools to keep under review the approach they take to supporting pupils with special educational needs and disability (SEND), including those with hyperactivity. The government keep the overall SEND framework under review through regular monitoring of implementation through our SEND advisers and through the Ofsted and Care Quality Commission local area inspections. These joint area-based inspections are in addition to Ofsted’s inspections of individual schools.</p><p> </p><p>It is important that future support for all children and young people with SEND is targeted where it will be most effective. Our response to Dame Christine Lenehan’s review of residential schools and colleges, expected later this year, will set out our next steps in achieving the vision of a reformed SEND system. We also plan to review the 0-25 SEND Code of Practice in due course.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 04/06/2018 06:42:47 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi
