The department is reviewing its apprenticeship strategy in line with Civil Service ambition of 2.3% apprenticeship starts and aims to meet this commitment by the 2018/19 financial year.

uin	131086
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/03/2018 answer text <p>Maintained schools, academies and free schools are required to provide free school meals to pupils of all ages that meet the eligibility criteria. In addition, since September 2014 all children in reception, year 1 and year 2 in England's state-funded schools, including academies and free schools, have been entitled to free school meals.</p><p> </p><p>In the current school funding system, no school receives specific funding for benefits-based free school meals. We allocate the dedicated schools grant (DSG) to local authorities on a per pupil basis, and local authorities then distribute DSG to schools through a local formula. The number of pupils in a school eligible for free school meals can be used to allocate additional funding in that local formula. It is then for schools to decide how to use their budget, including how much to allocate to pay for benefits-based free school meals. In addition, schools with infant classes receive separate funding for universal infant free school meals.</p><p> </p><p>No funding is provided to the child or their family and therefore is not returned to the school when meals are not taken up.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 08/03/2018 17:54:13 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi
