answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/04/2019 answer text <p>The Children and Families Act (2014) requires local authorities to work with parents, young people, and providers to keep the provision for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities under review, including its sufficiency.</p><p>We do not prescribe in detail how local authorities should allocate their high needs funding. In consultation with schools and other services, local authorities should consider carefully how best to meet the needs of children and young people in their area, including those with vision impairment.</p><p>To support local authorities, in December 2018 we announced an additional £250 million high needs funding up to 2020, on top of the funding increases we had already committed. This brings the total allocated for high needs in 2019-2020 to £6.3 billion and will help local authorities to manage the significant pressures on their high needs budgets.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 29/04/2019 16:03:23 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/05/2019 answer text <p>We will publish both the number of schools that were made an offer of support, the number that accepted the support, and the methodology used to determine eligibility for the Opportunity North East’s ONE Vision Schools programme in due course.</p><p>The ONE Vision programme aims to improve outcomes for young people at key stages 4 and 5 in 30 secondary phase schools. We selected Ofsted Requires Improvement (RI) as the single indicator to identify the long list of secondary phase schools in scope to become a ONE Vision school and, by exception<strong>, </strong>Ofsted Inadequate schools. We then shortlisted schools using a comprehensive review of their performance data, pupil demographics, Ofsted history and intelligence from local authorities and trusts on which schools were priorities for support. We made an initial offer of support to 32 schools, of which 30 accepted.</p><p>The support that each ONE Vision school receives will be bespoke to their individual circumstances. It will be determined by an analysis of need comprising an External Review of Governance, undertaken by a National Leader of Governance; a Financial Health Check, undertaken by a School Resource Management Adviser; and a School Development Review, undertaken by a National Leader of Education or other high performing school leader. This analysis will identify the schools’ main priorities for improvement.</p><p>The following table shows the number of pupils in 2017/18 (a) attending all state-funded mainstream schools in the North East who are in the region’s lowest quintile of Attainment 8 scores, and (b) attending ONE Vision Schools who are within the region’s lowest quintile of Attainment 8 scores.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Number of pupils in North East in lowest quintile[1] of Attainment 8 scores (state-funded mainstream schools[2])</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Number of pupils in North East in One Vision schools in lowest quintile<sup>1</sup> of Attainment 8 scores (state-funded mainstream schools<sup>2</sup>)</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>4,836</p></td><td><p>1,169</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>The following table shows the number of pupils in 2017/18 (a) attending all state-funded schools in the North East who are within the region’s lowest quintile of capped GCSE point scores, based on their best eight entries, and (b) attending ONE Vision Schools who are within the region’s lowest quintile of capped GCSE point scores, based on their best eight entries.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Number of pupils in North East in lowest quintile<sup>1</sup> of best eight entries scores (all state-funded schools)</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Number of pupils in North East in One Vision schools in lowest quintile<sup>1</sup> of best eight entries scores (all state-funded schools)</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>4,879</p></td><td><p>1,135</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>It is a goal of the ONE Vision programme to build capacity in these 30 schools so that they are able to support other schools in the future. To ensure that the ONE Vision activity does not adversely affect schools that are not participating in the programme, we will continue to speak with local authorities and trusts as part of our monitoring activities to understand what impact ONE Vision is having on the wider community. We will also continue to monitor the performance of all schools across the region.</p><p> </p><p>[1] Quintiles are based on pupil ranking rather than school ranking. As more than one pupil can have the same attainment score, more than 20 percent of pupils can have scores in the lowest 20 percent.</p><p>[2] Region figures cover achievements in state-funded schools only.
