star this property answer text <p>The Government is committed to increasing participation in level 3 mathematics to ensure the future workforce is skilled, competitive and productive. Since 2004, entries to A level mathematics have risen by 83% (84,226 in 2017). It is now the most popular A level and taken by 23.8% of students taking academic qualifications. There are currently over 250 students attending the two open mathematics schools sponsored by King’s College London and Exeter University along with Exeter College.</p><p> </p><p>The Department has already implemented a number of the recommendations made by the Smith Review. A funding incentive has been introduced to help schools and colleges increase participation in post-16 academic mathematics qualifications. The advanced maths premium will provide up to £600 per additional student studying academic level 3 mathematics qualifications.</p><p> </p><p>The Department has reduced the requirements for an additional payment that supports those 16 to 19 year olds who are undertaking a greater number of subjects post 16. The changes aim to provide a further financial incentive for promoting the further mathematics A level. Students will now need to achieve a grade C rather than a grade B in their further mathematics A level for their school or college to receive this additional payment</p><p> </p><p>The Government continues to fund centrally delivered professional development programmes for core maths, AS/A levels mathematics and further mathematics. A new Advanced Mathematics Support Programme (AMSP), worth £16 million over two years, started on the 1 May.</p><p> </p><p>The Department is also working with the Royal Society’s Advisory Committee on Maths Education to embed occupation-specific maths within the technical qualification component of each of the new T levels.</p>

That means schools are receiving more funding than ever before for children’s education, totalling over £40 billion this year.</p><p>We remain committed to seeing all schools, over time, become academies. The Department continues to support schools to convert and, in particular, support sponsors to turn around failing schools and to enable strong and effective multi-academy trusts to grow and improve.</p><p>New academies and free schools will continue to receive a pre-opening grant to support the costs of opening. Rates vary based on school type, from a £25,000 grant for a converter academy, to £80,000-150,000 for secondary schools becoming sponsored academies, where the grant supports costs of school improvement as well as conversion.</p><p>We also provide post-opening funding for new full sponsored academies to contribute towards leadership and other costs as new academies build up their pupil numbers. This ranges from £10,000 to £80,200, depending on the number of pupils on roll at opening as compared to the academy’s capacity.</p>

star this property answer text <p>Through our careful management of the economy we have been able to protect the core schools budget in real terms. That means schools are receiving more funding than ever before for children’s education, totalling over £40 billion this year.</p><p>When the Government launched our <em>Educational Excellence Everywhere </em>White Paper, it was clear that we would listen and reflect on the discussions. After listening to the sector, in May 2016 the Department confirmed that it would no longer be pursuing full academisation by 2022. Removing the absolute time pressure changes the scale of financial support we need to make available over the remainder of this Parliament</p><p>It remains the Government’s ambition that the whole school system ultimately benefits from the autonomy and freedom to innovate that academy status brings, and that schools work together in collaboration through strong multi-academy trusts. The Department still has sufficient funding – voted during the Spending Review – to ensure schools can take advantage of the opportunities available by becoming an academy. This includes funding to support schools to convert and to build capacity in the system, including recruiting excellent sponsors and encouraging the development of strong multi-academy trusts.</p>

This requirement applies only to 16-19 study programmes funded by the Education Funding Agency (EFA) and is set out in a funding condition for schools and colleges which receive EFA funding. The requirement would therefore apply to any member of the armed forces undertaking EFA-funded 16-19 programmes.

star this property answer text <p>‘Keeping children safe in education’ (KCSIE) is the statutory guidance which schools and colleges must have regard to, when carrying out their duties to safeguard and promote the welfare of children. KCSIE sets out that governing bodies and proprietors should ensure that children are taught about safeguarding, including staying safe online, through appropriate teaching. This may include covering relevant issues through Personal, Social, Health and Economic education and through Sex and Relationship education.</p><p>The Children and Social Work Act 2017 places a duty on the Secretary of State for Education to make Relationships Education at primary and Relationship and Sex Education at secondary mandatory through regulations. We expect the teaching of safe online relationships to be part of this. To get this right, the Department will be engaging with schools, teachers; parents and pupils; experts in safeguarding and child wellbeing; subject experts; faith groups; voluntary organisations and other interested parties; and other Government Departments and public sector bodies.</p><p>The new computing curriculum (ages 5-16) was introduced in September 2014 to replace the ICT curriculum, which was widely regarded by industry and academics as outdated. The development of the content was largely led by sector representatives and includes topics on digital literacy and using communications technology responsibly.</p><p> </p><p>The Department funds the Network of Excellence programme which provides high quality teacher continuous professional development to support the new computing curriculum and reformed computer science GCSE, provided by a team of around 400 ‘Master Teachers’ and coordinated by ten university based regional centres.</p><p> </p><p>Ofsted takes into account pupils’ understanding of how to stay safe online and the dangers of inappropriate use of mobile technology and social networking sites as part of their inspection process.</p>
