answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/01/2019 answer text <p>Like all schools, those with a designated religious character are required by law, and for academies, through their funding agreement, to promote inclusivity through supporting integration and community cohesion whatever their character and ethos. They are also required to provide a broad and balanced curriculum and to promote fundamental British values, including mutual respect and tolerance of those of other faiths and beliefs.</p><p>We know that the vast majority of schools with a religious character are open and inclusive. We believe that the broad religious literacy, which most promote, is helpful in giving students what they need to navigate our multicultural society.</p><p>In its response to the “Schools that work for everyone” consultation, the department announced the retention of the 50% cap on faith admissions in faith free schools. We also announced strengthened expectations on integration to ensure that the potential impact on the intake of neighbouring schools is assessed, before a new school is approved.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Guildford answering member printed Anne Milton question first answered 24/01/2019 16:43:43 answering member 1523 label Biography information for Anne Milton

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/12/2018 answer text <p>The Department is allocating an additional £400 million capital funding to schools and other eligible educational institutions in 2018–19 to spend on capital projects which meet their own priorities. This funding is in addition to the £1.4 billion of condition allocations already provided this year to those responsible for maintaining school buildings. This supports the Government’s priority of ensuring the school estate is well maintained and helps provide a high-quality education.</p><p> </p><p>The Department plans to publish a calculator in December, so that schools can estimate their allocation and make plans to spend the money. Individual allocations will be published in January, with the funding distributed shortly afterwards. An average primary school is expected to receive £10,000 and an average secondary school, £50,000.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb grouped question UIN 198257 question first answered 06/12/2018 08:58:10 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb
