answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/06/2018 answer text <p>Providing sufficient capital funding to create more school places and to invest in maintaining the school estate is a key part of the Government’s plan to ensure every child has the opportunity of a place in a good school, whatever their background. We have allocated Trafford local authority (LA) over £25 million of capital funding from 2015-16 to 2017-18 (financial years). This figure includes condition allocations to the LA for maintained and voluntary aided schools, basic need funding to the LA for new school places, and Devolved Formula Capital (DFC) allocated directly to maintained and voluntary aided schools. The LA can decide how to invest their own allocations, using their local knowledge of need across their schools.</p><p> </p><p>In addition, academies also receive DFC and larger multi academy trusts will receive their own condition allocations and often allocate funding across constituency and LA boundaries. Smaller or standalone trusts and sixth form colleges also receive DFC and are eligible for funding through the annual Condition Improvement Fund.</p><p> </p><p>Published data on capital allocations is available on the GOV.UK website.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 21/06/2018 16:19:10 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/01/2016 answer text <p>The Government’s approach is to develop opportunities for everyone. This includes measures to improve literacy and numeracy, and the quality of teaching; targeting resource through the pupil premium to ensure every young person, regardless of birth or background, has the opportunity to realise their full potential.</p><br /><p>Inequality in relation to exclusion is a complex and longstanding issue. Many of the issues that underlie the inequalities seen in exclusion are inseparable from those that lead to other educational inequalities, including academic attainment. Removing the barriers to children engaging with education is fundamental to attendance, academic attainment, improving behaviour and reducing the need for exclusion.</p><br /><p>Through the pupil premium, schools receive additional funding to help them support their disadvantaged pupils, and have flexibility over how they use this to improve the progress and attainment of those pupils. In the current financial year, 59% of Gypsy and Roma pupils and 72% of Traveller pupils are eligible for the pupil premium, compared with 28% of all pupils.</p><br /><p>In 2012, the Government funded two local authorities (Cambridgeshire and Kent) to each appoint a Virtual Head Teacher to support schools in raising the attainment of GRT pupils, to increase awareness of the common issues faced by Gypsy, Roma and Traveller pupils and to help schools to overcome them. The findings of these pilots are available at <a href="https://www.learntogether.org.uk/Resources/Documents/Cambs%20VHT%20DfE%20final%20report.doc" target="_blank">https://www.learntogether.org.uk/Resources/Documents/Cambs%20VHT%20DfE%20final%20report.doc</a> and <a href="http://www.edukent.co.uk/images/uploads/misc_files/VHT_Kent_Final_report_GH.pdf" target="_blank">http://www.edukent.co.uk/images/uploads/misc_files/VHT_Kent_Final_report_GH.pdf</a>.</p><br /><p>The Department has also produced short case studies of schools that have been successful in improving the attendance and attainment of Gypsy, Roma and Traveller pupils. These are available at: <a href="http://www.gov.uk/government/case-studies/gypsy-roma-and-traveller-pupils-supporting-access-to-education" target="_blank">www.gov.uk/government/case-studies/gypsy-roma-and-traveller-pupils-supporting-access-to-education</a>.</p><br /><p>Schools have duties under the Equality Act 2010 not to discriminate against pupils, including in the exclusion process. These duties are considered as part of the inspection process and complaints processes exist to consider individual complaints.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 15/01/2016 14:50:39 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb
