question text	Her Majesty's Government what is the average capital cost of free school places with regard to (1) the proposed number of places, and (2) the number of places filled.
tabling member printed	Lord Storey
uin	HL709
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/07/2017 answer text <p>The most recent national analysis of the free schools programme and specifically the costs of free schools was published by National Audit Office (NAO) in its report on Capital Funding for Schools in February this year, which can be accessed via <a href="https://www.nao.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Capital-funding-for-schools.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.nao.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Capital-funding-for-schools.pdf</a>.</p><p>The NAO reported that the average capital costs of a place in a primary free school opening in 2013-14 or 2014-15 was £14,400, while a place in a secondary free school was £19,100.</p><p>The Department does not calculate nor use the cost per place filled. Many Free Schools open one year group at a time. Therefore the average costs per place filled would not be comparable to other types of schools on this basis nor reflective of the true cost of the school places.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Nash question first answered 21/07/2017 09:31:13 answering member 4270 label Biography information for Lord Nash

question text	Her Majesty's Government what provision is made in the National Curriculum for England for pupils to be taught basic financial literacy, with the purpose of learning how to manage personal finances and household budgets.
tabling member printed	Baroness Stowell of Beeston
uin	HL648
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/07/2017 answer text <p>In 2014, financial literacy was made statutory within the National Curriculum and it is now taught as part of the citizenship curriculum for 11 to 16 year olds. Pupils are taught the functions and uses of money, the importance of personal budgeting, money management and the need to understand financial risk. The National Curriculum for mathematics has also been strengthened to give pupils from 5 to 16 the necessary maths they need to make important financial decisions.</p><p> </p><p>Many schools include the teaching of financial education in their Personal, Social, Health and Economic (PSHE) curriculum, drawing on available resources such as the PSHE Association’s non-statutory programme of study. The programme of study sets out that pupils should have the opportunity to learn about how personal financial choices can affect oneself and others and about rights and responsibilities as consumers.</p> answering member printed Lord Nash question first answered 21/07/2017 13:59:30 answering member 4270 label Biography information for Lord Nash
