	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/01/2019 answer text <p>The figure of £6,000 was determined on the basis of research undertaken by PricewaterhouseCoopers as part of a school funding review in 2009. Evidence showed that the cost point above which children with special educational needs (SEN) became fewer in number and it would be appropriate to describe them as having high needs was around £6,000.</p><p>In order to better understand the financial incentives that influence how schools, colleges and councils support children and young people with SEN, the Department for Education will be gathering more evidence early in 2019. This will include looking at the first £6,000 schools pay for special educational provision before accessing additional funding from local high needs budgets.</p><p>We will also provide additional high needs funding allocations, for all local authorities, totalling £250 million over 2018 to 2019 and 2019 to 2020. This brings the total allocated for high needs this year to £6.1 billion and £6.3 billion in 2019 to 2020.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 07/01/2019 14:48:27 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi

The data was collected for the purposes of educational research to help us to understand the impact of migration on the school system. Understanding trends in migration, and the associated needs in the school system, helps us ensure that all children, wherever they are from, have the best possible education.</p><p>The requirement for parents / guardians to provide information on their children’s nationality and country of birth was optional and the school census guidance expected schools to ensure that they were made aware of their right to decline to provide this data. Guidance also advised schools to inform parents that if they wished to retract any nationality or country of birth information returned in a previous census, they should inform their school of this decision. This would then be transferred to the Department and the Department would remove from the systems any information previously returned. As this data is no longer collected, the last opportunity for parents to retract this information was via the last collection in summer 2018.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 07/01/2019 14:54:34 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

	uin	203435
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/01/2019 answer text <p>The government set out in the 2015 Spending Review that we expect 390,000 three and four-year-old children to be eligible for 30 hours free childcare in the first year. This figure was a January snapshot and therefore an average across the year. Furthermore, the figure will change slightly year on year depending on the birth cohort and parental employment levels.</p><p>We do not have a robust estimate of eligibility at a regional and local authority level. Local authorities have a statutory duty under Section 7 of the Childcare Act (2006) to secure early education places free of charge for all eligible children and therefore we would expect local authorities to carry out analysis to understand their local demand.</p><p>We do publish termly experimental statistics showing the number of children in a place. The most recent publication showed that an estimated 339,974 children were in 30 hours places in the summer term. The full publication - including regional and local authority level breakdown - is available here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/30-hours-free-childcare-summer-term-2018" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/30-hours-free-childcare-summer-term-2018</a>.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 07/01/2019 14:58:17 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi
