uin	6223
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/10/2019 answer text <p>The system for approving new free schools is underpinned by a rigorous application and evaluation process. Each application is considered against published criteria, focusing on the capacity and track record of proposers, with extensive due diligence and financial viability checks carried out on the applicant and affordability and value for money checks on the application and business case.</p><p>The Department is working with the contractor to finalise capital costs for UTC Warrington. The Department publishes capital costs for all free schools, university technical colleges (UTCs) and studio schools on GOV.UK once all works are completed and costs are finalised.</p><p>Given that these can be large and complex projects, this can take some time between first opening and publication. Additional finalised capital costs for individual free schools, UTCs and studio schools will be published in due course.</p><p>UTCs receive funding based on their local authority formulae, so are funded in the same way as their academy and maintained school counterparts in Warrington. The revenue funding received in each academic year by UTC Warrington is as follows:</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>2016-17</p></td><td><p>£1,705,675</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2017-18</p></td><td><p>£2,451,962</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2018-19</p></td><td><p>£1,172,500</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2019-20 (up to and including November 2019)</p></td><td><p>£548,672</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Total</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>£5,878,810</strong></p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>In pre-opening, the Department gives free school projects and UTCs Project Development Grant (PDG) to cover essential non-capital costs up to the point at which the school opens.</p><p>The PDG rates that projects receive are determined by the type of school being opened. Once open, free schools and UTCs are funded on the same basis as other academies and maintained schools, although, as they grow, free schools and UTCs delivered through the government's central route also receive Post Opening Grant (POG). POG is given to reflect the additional costs in establishing a new publicly funded school which cannot be met through the General Annual Grant.</p><p>PDG and POG costs are published once free schools and UTCs are open, and POG costs are updated annually and can be found below:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/revenue-spending-on-free-schools-and-studio-schools" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/revenue-spending-on-free-schools-and-studio-schools</a>.</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/revenue-spending-on-university-technical-colleges" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/revenue-spending-on-university-technical-colleges</a>.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 31/10/2019 17:23:29 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how much per pupil funding was spent on each student over 16 and in full-time education in Warrington in each year since 2010.
tabling member constituency	Warrington North
tabling member printed	Helen Jones
uin	249222
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/05/2019 answer text <p>16 to 19 funding is based on a national funding formula with a standard base rate of £4,000 for a full-time 16 or 17 year old student, and additional funding related to the characteristics of students and their learning programmes. This formula has operated since 2013/14. A different national funding formula operated before that, but the figures for the 2 are not consistent.</p><p>The average 16 to 19 funding per student for institutions in Warrington is shown below:</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Year</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Average Funding Per Student</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2013/14</p></td><td><p>£4,547</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2014/15</p></td><td><p>£4,446</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2015/16</p></td><td><p>£4,441</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2016/17</p></td><td><p>£4,439</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2017/18</p></td><td><p>£4,441</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2018/19</p></td><td><p>£4,383</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p><br> The table is based on formula funding per student derived from annual allocations covering 16 to 19 provision, to institutions based in Warrington (excluding special schools). Further funding is provided through student support, for high needs provision and from 2018/19 onwards the industry placement capacity and delivery fund.</p><p>Note that this figure includes both full- and part-time students as we do not allocate funding separately for these 2 groups. The vast majority of 16-19 year old students are full-time.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Guildford answering member printed Anne Milton question first answered 07/05/2019 16:32:02 answering member 1523 label Biography information for Anne Milton

tabling member constituency	Warrington North
tabling member printed	Helen Jones
uin	249223
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/05/2019 answer text <p>Local authorities are required to provide schools with sufficient funds to enable schools to meet the additional cost of pupils with special educational needs (SEN) and disabilities, up to the value of £6,000. This funding comes from the schools’ block of the dedicated schools grant (DSG).</p><p> </p><p>When the costs of additional support required for a pupil with SEN exceed £6,000, the local authority should also allocate additional top-up funding to cover the excess costs. This top-up funding, and funding for special schools comes from the local authority’s high needs budget. In December 2018, we announced an additional £250 million in high needs funding up to 2020, bringing Warrington’s total high needs funding to £20.278 million in 2019-20.</p><p> </p><p>In 2013, the schools and high needs budgets within the DSG were created. As the DSG includes other budgets such as the early years budget, the department is unable to provide comparable figures before 2013-14.</p><p> </p><p>The schools and high needs allocations for Warrington since 2013-14 can be found at the following links:</p><ul><li><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/dedicated-schools-grant-2013-to-2014" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/dedicated-schools-grant-2013-to-2014</a></li><li><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/dedicated-schools-grant-2014-to-2015" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/dedicated-schools-grant-2014-to-2015</a></li><li><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/dedicated-schools-grant-dsg-2015-to-2016" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/dedicated-schools-grant-dsg-2015-to-2016</a></li><li><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/dedicated-schools-grant-dsg-2016-to-2017" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/dedicated-schools-grant-dsg-2016-to-2017</a></li><li><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/dedicated-schools-grant-dsg-2017-to-2018" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/dedicated-schools-grant-dsg-2017-to-2018</a></li><li><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/dedicated-schools-grant-dsg-2018-to-2019" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/dedicated-schools-grant-dsg-2018-to-2019</a></li><li><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/dedicated-schools-grant-dsg-2019-to-2020" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/dedicated-schools-grant-dsg-2019-to-2020</a></li></ul> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 07/05/2019 16:05:20 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi
