	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/10/2014 answer text <p>On 17 July, I announced that the Department for Education will allocate £390 million to the least fairly funded local areas in 2015-16. This is the biggest step towards fairer schools funding in a decade. It puts us in a much better position to implement a national funding formula when the time is right – after the next spending review, when there are multi-year public spending plans, and the Department can give greater certainty to schools about how the formula will affect them.</p> answering member constituency Yeovil answering member printed Mr David Laws question first answered 20/10/2014 16:39:10 answering member 1473 label Biography information for Mr David Laws previous answer version 22718 answering member constituency Yeovil answering member printed Mr David Laws answering member 1473 label Biography information for Mr David Laws

	question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what mechanisms are in place to ensure that there is no delay in the provision of funding for a pupil who moves school after the start of a new academic year.
	tabling member printed	Lord Sharkey
	uin	HL1053
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/07/2014 answer text <p>There is a delay in funding as schools are generally funded for the number of pupils they had based on the previous year’s school census. This provides schools with greater stability and predictability in planning their budgets. However, we are aware of the difficulties that some schools experiencing an influx of pupils after the start of an academic year can face. This is why local authorities can use a mobility factor in their local funding formula to give additional funding to schools that have a large number of pupils entering at non-standard entry times. We have also given local authorities the option of setting up a growth fund, which can support schools taking on more pupils because of the need for extra places in the area.</p> answering member printed Lord Nash question first answered 21/07/2014 15:02:48 answering member 4270 label Biography information for Lord Nash
