answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/11/2017 answer text <p>The department is committed to ensuring all parents who are eligible for the 30 hours free childcare entitlement are able to take up a place that suits their childcare needs. That is why we ran a £100 million early years capital bid round, for which local authorities, in partnership with providers, were invited to submit bids. Over 350 projects across 123 local authorities were successful in this bid round – six of which were located in Hampshire.</p><p> </p><p>Local authorities have a duty to secure childcare provision free of charge to qualifying children. They are, therefore, best placed to ensure parents in their area have a sufficient choice of childcare. As of 31 August, over 216,000 codes were issued for the autumn term, with 90% being validated as of 9 October.</p> answering member constituency Scarborough and Whitby answering member printed Mr Robert Goodwill question first answered 09/11/2017 15:02:21 answering member 1562 label Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/09/2017 answer text <p>My Rt hon. Friend, the Secretary of State, announced an additional £1.3 billion for schools and high needs across 2018-19 and 2019-20, in addition to the schools budget set at Spending Review 2015, on 17 July. As a result, core funding for schools will rise from almost £41 billion in 2017-18 to £42.4 billion in 2018-19 and £43.5 billion in 2019-20, representing an increase in the total schools budget of over 6% between this year and 2019-20. This means funding per pupil will now be maintained in real terms for the remaining two years of this Spending Review.</p><p> </p><p>We have now announced details of the new national funding formulae, meaning that from April 2018 funding will finally be allocated on a fair and transparent basis. We have announced the funding that will be allocated for all schools in England, including schools in Hampshire, under the formula. Full details are available at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/national-funding-formula-tables-for-schools-and-high-needs" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/national-funding-formula-tables-for-schools-and-high-needs</a>.</p><p>Together these reforms will give schools a firm foundation that will enable them to continue to raise standards, promote social mobility, and give every child the best possible education.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 15/09/2017 14:11:22 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Education, if the Government will make an assessment of the effect on educational (a) provision and (b) outcomes of the physical condition of the 1960s Second Consortium of Local Authorities schools in (i) Hampshire and (ii) North East Hampshire.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/03/2017 answer text <p>The Education Funding Agency (EFA) will collect information on the condition of Second Consortium of Local Authorities (SCOLA) school buildings in Hampshire and North East Hampshire as part of the Condition Data Collection (CDC) programme. The CDC will run from 2017 to autumn 2019 and is a high-level, visual and non-invasive collection of consistent condition information for all government funded schools in England. It is the successor to the Property Data Survey (PDS) which collected condition information on the education estate between 2012 and 2014.</p><p>The CDC will assess the condition of school buildings and how they have changed since the PDS but it will not provide any assessment of the effect on educational provision or outcomes. The CDC will provide the EFA with an improved and up to date evidence base which will help inform future funding allocations and help direct investment to the areas with the greatest condition need. It will also help identify school buildings for inclusion in future rebuilding programmes and help those responsible for maintaining buildings develop their building management data.</p><p>In most cases, CDC condition information will be made available to a school and its responsible body within 8-10 weeks of the school’s site visit.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 20/03/2017 09:52:29 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb
