Around 2,000 of those schools are in scope of DCMS’ Gigabit Hubs programme and so will have access to gigabit capable connectivity by 2025. These figures do not account for schools that have access to fibre through a private leased line arrangement to enable gigabit capable connectivity. <br> <br> The future build plans of telecoms providers are commercially sensitive. The Government are therefore unable to disclose regional or local authority level data.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 14/09/2021 13:38:05 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

It covered claims for the premises costs of staying open over Easter and summer half term holidays, support for free school meals, and additional cleaning costs.</p><p>Schools have continued to receive their core funding throughout the COVID-19 outbreak, regardless of any periods of full or partial closure. This financial year marks the second year of the Department’s investment of £14.4 billion in total over the three years to 2022/23, compared to 2019/20.

We are engaging directly with school leaders, local networks of schools, and national stakeholders to ensure that the NTP reaches as many disadvantaged pupils as possible. We will continue focusing on those areas with the most disadvantaged pupils, and where we would like to see more schools take up the opportunity.</p><p>Building on the successful first year of the programme, we aim to reach 750,000 disadvantaged pupils during the academic year 2021/22.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 08/07/2021 16:29:38 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

It is for head teachers to decide how they use their core funding distributed through the NFF, and no separate allocation is made specifically for arts materials.</p><p>This Government values the arts and supports the creative arts throughout the education system. Alongside funding for schools, the Department has invested nearly £620 million from 2016 to 2021 in a diverse portfolio of music and arts education programmes to ensure all children, whatever their background, have access to a high-quality education in music and arts. A further £84 million has been made available for music programmes and a range of arts and cultural programmes in this financial year.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 05/07/2021 15:20:58 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb
