Aggregated schools funding is not allocated to primary and secondary schools separately, nor to parliamentary constituencies. Primary and secondary pupil numbers for each local authority in England can be found in the local authority tables for each year through following link: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/statistics-school-and-pupil-numbers" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/statistics-school-and-pupil-numbers</a>.</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Financial Year</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Coventry local authority (£millions)</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2010-11</p></td><td><p>241.9</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2011-12</p></td><td><p>249.8</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2012-13</p></td><td><p>257.6</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2013-14</p></td><td><p>279.6</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2014-15</p></td><td><p>292.0</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2015-16</p></td><td><p>298.0</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2016-17</p></td><td><p>302.2</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2017-18</p></td><td><p>314.2</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2018-19</p></td><td><p>324.5</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2019-20</p></td><td><p>337.2</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>Data for allocations prior to 2011/12 are not readily available. Most funding allocations are calculated at a responsible body level, and cannot be broken down to per pupil, primary or secondary, and constituency levels. This is because many responsible bodies, such as academy trusts, span local authority boundaries and decisions on investment in individual schools are often taken at a local level.</p><p>Basic need funding is allocated to local authorities to provide new school places in their area. The Department provides basic need funding for every place that is needed, based on local authorities’ own data on pupil forecasts. These allocations are calculated in line with demographic growth in the local area rather than existing population, so allocations may fluctuate across years. There are now 8,594 more school places in Coventry than there were in 2010.</p><p>In addition to this, Coventry has been allocated nearly £4 million through the Special Provision Capital Fund across 2018-21. This funding is intended to help local authorities create new places and improve facilities for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities.</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><del class="ministerial"><strong>(All values £millions)</strong></del></p></td><td><p><del class="ministerial"><strong>2011-12</strong></del></p></td><td><p><del class="ministerial"><strong>2012-13</strong></del></p></td><td><p><del class="ministerial"><strong>2013-14</strong></del></p></td><td><p><del class="ministerial"><strong>2014-15</strong></del></p></td><td><p><del class="ministerial"><strong>2015-16</strong></del></p></td><td><p><del class="ministerial"><strong>2016-17</strong></del></p></td><td><p><del class="ministerial"><strong>2017-18</strong></del></p></td><td><p><del class="ministerial"><strong>2018-19</strong></del></p></td><td><p><del class="ministerial"><strong>2019-20</strong></del></p></td><td><p><del class="ministerial"><strong>2020-21</strong></del></p></td><td><p><del class="ministerial"><strong>2021-22</strong></del></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><del class="ministerial">Basic Need allocations</del></p></td><td><p><del class="ministerial">9.9</del></p></td><td><p><del class="ministerial">9.7</del></p></td><td colspan="2"><p><del class="ministerial">12.5 12.5</del></p></td><td><p><del class="ministerial">0</del></p></td><td><p><del class="ministerial">0</del></p></td><td><p><del class="ministerial">3.2</del></p></td><td><p><del class="ministerial">6</del></p></td><td><p><del class="ministerial">8.2</del></p></td><td><p><del class="ministerial">1.9</del></p></td><td><p><del class="ministerial">23.7</del></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><del class="ministerial">Special Provision Capital Fund</del></p></td><td><p><del class="ministerial"> </del></p></td><td><p><del class="ministerial"> </del></p></td><td><p><del class="ministerial"> </del></p></td><td><p><del class="ministerial"> </del></p></td><td><p><del class="ministerial"> </del></p></td><td><p><del class="ministerial"> </del></p></td><td><p><del class="ministerial"> </del></p></td><td><p><del class="ministerial">0.8</del></p></td><td><p><del class="ministerial">2.4</del></p></td><td><p><del class="ministerial">0.8</del></p></td><td><p><del class="ministerial"> </del></p></td></tr></tbody></table><p><ins class="ministerial"><table><tbody><tr><td><p><ins class="ministerial">(All Values £millions)</ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial">2011-12</ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial">2012-13</ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial">2013-14 and 2014-15</ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial">2015-16</ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial">2016-17</ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial">2017-18</ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial">2018-19</ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial">2019-20</ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial">2020-21</ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial">2021-22</ins></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><ins class="ministerial">Basic Need allocations</ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial">9.9</ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial">9.7</ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial">12.5</ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial">0</ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial">0</ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial">3.2</ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial">6</ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial">8.2</ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial">1.9</ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial">23.7</ins></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><ins class="ministerial">Special Provision Capital Fund</ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial">-</ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial">-</ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial">-</ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial">-</ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial">-</ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial">-</ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial">0.8</ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial">2.4</ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial">0.8</ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial">-</ins></p></td></tr></tbody></table></ins></p><p>[1], [2]</p><p>In addition to basic need funding, the Department allocates condition funding each year to those responsible for school buildings to improve and maintain the condition of the school estate.</p><p> </p><p>For an explanation of condition funding and a breakdown of condition allocations paid to Coventry local authority to invest in maintained schools over the last ten years, I refer the hon.

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/07/2017 answer text <p>The Vaughan Primary School, Harrow, has been delivered by the ESFA through the Priority Schools Building Programme (PSBP). We have completed checks of schools delivered through this programme and confirm that the cladding on this school is not Aluminium Composite Material (ACM).</p><p> </p><p>The Department is undertaking an analysis of all school buildings, seeking information from all bodies responsible for schools, to identify those where external cladding has been used (and its type) for schools with four storeys or more. This exercise will cover school buildings of all ages, whether they have been funded through DfE central programmes or not.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>All schools must comply with strict building and fire safety regulations. It has always been the case that where a fire risk assessment required for any new building recommends sprinklers are installed to keep children safe, they must be fitted.</p><p>The Department holds information on PSBP schools as these are managed centrally by the ESFA. Of the 260 schools in phase one of the PSBP, 7<ins class="ministerial">4</ins><del class="ministerial">5</del> schools include sprinkler systems. As schools under phase two of the PSBP are still in the early design stage, it is not yet clear which may require sprinklers at this time.</p><p><ins class="ministerial">The number of schools in phase one with sprinklers installed had previously been reported as 75. However, further analysis of the data has confirmed that a joint project between two primary schools in Wiltshire had inadvertently been counted as two schools, when they should only have been counted once. Therefore, we can confirm that the correct number of schools fitted with sprinklers, under phase one of PSBP, is 74.</ins></p><p> </p><p>Until recently, schools developed under the Free Schools programme were managed by the individual Free School proposer groups, via their appointed building contractors. Due to this, the Department does not hold information on the number of Free School buildings with and without sprinklers installed.</p><p>All schools must have robust safety plans to follow in the event of a fire and have very strong safety features in case a fire breaks out. This includes the fact that they are not occupied overnight and are generally low rise with multiple exit routes.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 05/07/2017 16:01:25 question first ministerially corrected 04/10/2017 11:07:16 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb previous answer version 2057 answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/06/2023 answer text <p>The Department is transforming buildings at 500 schools over the next decade as part of its School Rebuilding Programme. The construction programmes of building projects in all Department programmes is monitored by the Department through programme management and project delivery teams.</p><p>In the four school rebuilding projects which have been completed, three were delayed more than a month against initial forecasts. These initial programme forecasts were made ahead of the impact of significant events that could not have been reasonably predicted and that affected the global market.</p><p>The Department has continuously improved its approach to building schools since the Sebastian James’ review. This identified that the Building Schools for the Future programme, introduced under the last Government in 2004, was overly bureaucratic and not designed to target poor condition, did not support high and consistent quality, did not use standardised specifications that work for education, and did not deliver value for money and economies of scale from central procurement and delivery, which are all things that are now prioritised when building schools.</p><p>Under the Priority School Building Programme (PSBP) this Government launched in 2014, whole schools were built<del class="ministerial"> at</del> one third <ins class="ministerial">cheaper</ins><del class="ministerial"> of the cost</del> per square metre on average than schools built under the Building Schools for the Future Programme.
