	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/10/2022 answer text <p>The department knows that the early years sector is facing economic challenges, similar to those being faced across the country. The department has already announced additional funding of £160 million in 2022/23, £180 million in 2023/24 and £170 million in 2024/25, compared to the 2021/22 financial year, for local authorities to increase hourly rates paid to childcare providers. This includes all maintained nursery schools.</p><p>The department has also confirmed the continuation of maintained nursery school (MNS) supplementary funding throughout the spending review period, providing the sector with long-term certainty. More recently it has been announced that the department will be investing an additional £10 million into MNS supplementary funding from 2023/24, and have consulted on proposals to reform the distribution of this funding to ensure that it is being shared more evenly across all local authorities with MNSs. Our proposals mean that the vast majority of local authorities, including Stockport, will see their supplementary funding hourly rate increase, with a more generous increase for the lowest funded. We will respond to the consultation and publish final funding rates for 2023/24 this autumn. This is on top of the increase for this year, where we have increased the MNS supplementary hourly rate by 3.5%, equivalent to the increase in the 3 and 4-year-old hourly funding rates.</p><p>Further, the government recognises the impact rising energy prices can have on businesses, voluntary sector or public organisations of all sizes. On 21 September 2022, the former Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy announced a new Energy Bill Relief Scheme to support eligible schools and businesses large and small, including early years providers and maintained nursery schools, with their energy costs over the winter. The Chancellor has made clear this will continue from now until April 2023.</p> answering member constituency Rochester and Strood answering member printed Kelly Tolhurst question first answered 26/10/2022 07:51:33 answering member 4487 label Biography information for Kelly Tolhurst

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/10/2022 answer text <p>The department does not have plans to assess the effects of changing the current eligibility conditions for free school meals (FSM) in primary schools. However, the department will continue to keep eligibility under review to ensure that these meals are supporting those who most need them. In setting a threshold, the department believes that the current level, which enables children to benefit from FSM while remaining affordable and deliverable for schools, is the right one.</p><p>The latest published statistics show that around 1.9 million pupils are claiming FSM. This equates to 22.5% of all pupils, up from 20.8% in 2021. Together with a further 1.25 million infants supported through the Universal Infant Free School Meal policy, 37.5% of pupils are now provided with FSM.</p> answering member constituency Rochester and Strood answering member printed Kelly Tolhurst question first answered 25/10/2022 15:24:10 answering member 4487 label Biography information for Kelly Tolhurst

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/10/2022 answer text <p>Cooking and nutrition are part of the national curriculum for design and technology (D&amp;T). This was introduced as part of the 2014 D&amp;T curriculum and is compulsory for key stages 1 to 3, or ages 5 to 14. Schools are required to teach children how to cook, with an emphasis on savoury dishes, and how to apply the principles of healthy eating and nutrition. This means children are equipped with the knowledge and skills to prepare a range of nutritious dishes that will stand them in good stead in their adult lives.</p><p>The department also introduced a food preparation and nutrition GCSE in September 2016. This allows students to develop their skills further in practical cooking, as well as helping them to understand and apply the principles of food science and healthy eating when preparing and cooking food.</p><p>The Levelling Up White Paper confirmed the department’s dedication to food education, including a commitment to launch a school cooking revolution. The department is developing curriculum support to ensure young people leave school knowing how to cook at least six savoury recipes that will support healthy lifestyles.</p> answering member constituency Rochester and Strood answering member printed Kelly Tolhurst question first answered 24/10/2022 16:53:21 answering member 4487 label Biography information for Kelly Tolhurst
