	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/03/2014 answer text <p>On 13 March, I announced proposals to allocate £350 million to our 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 we 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 27/03/2014 12:00:00 answering member 1473 label Biography information for Mr David Laws

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/03/2014 answer text <p>In 2015-16, in addition to funding all local authorities at the same cash level per pupil as in 2014-15, we will add a further £350 million funding for the least fairly-funded authorities.To allocate this as fairly as possible, we selected the characteristics we think contribute most to the attainment of pupils and viability of schools, and set indicative minimum funding levels for each of these. The characteristics we selected were as follows:</p><p>1. An age-weighted basic per pupil unit of funding; and</p><p>2. Additional units of funding for:</p><p>2.1. deprived pupils;</p><p>2.2. pupils with low attainment;</p><p>2.3. pupils with English as an additional language;</p><p>2.4. children who are looked after, for example in foster care;</p><p>2.5. a lump sum for all schools, regardless of size, to help with fixed costs; and</p><p>2.6. funding for schools serving sparsely populated rural areas.</p><p>These are all characteristics that local authorities already use in distributing schools funding. We looked at the average value attached by local authorities to each of these characteristics and used these as a basis for our proposed minimum funding levels for primary and secondary pupils and schools. As Staffordshire already attracts funding above these levels, it does not stand to gain from these proposals.</p><p>Full details of our methodology can be found in the consultation document at:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/fairer-schools-funding-2015-to-2016" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/fairer-schools-funding-2015-to-2016</a></p><p> </p> answering member constituency Yeovil answering member printed Mr David Laws question first answered 27/03/2014 12:00:00 answering member 1473 label Biography information for Mr David Laws

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/03/2014 answer text <p>As part of the reforms to the national curriculum, the Department for Education is strengthening the teaching of programming in schools by replacing ICT with computing. The new computing programmes of study, which will be taught in maintained schools from September 2014, have a much greater emphasis on computer science and include a significant focus on programming. Primary school pupils at key stage 1 will be taught to understand what algorithms are, create and debug simple programs, and use logical reasoning to predict the behaviour of simple programs. Building on this, primary school pupils at key stage 2 will be taught to design, write and debug programs that accomplish specific goals, including controlling or simulating physical systems; use sequence, selection, and repetition in programs; and use logical reasoning to detect and correct errors in algorithms and programs.</p><p>The Department is funding several projects to help teachers acquire the necessary subject knowledge and skills to teach the new computing curriculum. We are funding the British Computer Society (BCS) to help primary school teachers improve their subject knowledge through online teach-yourself resources and 800 in-school workshops. We are also funding BCS to build a network of 400 ‘Master Teachers'. A further £500,000 competitive match-funded scheme was announced on 4 February to support excellent computing teaching and lever additional investment and engagement from business.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency South West Norfolk answering member printed Elizabeth Truss question first answered 27/03/2014 12:00:00 answering member 4097 label Biography information for Elizabeth Truss
