answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/07/2023 answer text <p>The Government has accepted the School Teachers’ Review Body (STRB) recommendations for 2023/24 teacher pay awards in full. This means that teachers and head teachers in maintained schools will receive an increase of at least 6.5%, the highest STRB award in three decades. The Department will be providing an additional £525 million of funding in the 2023/24 financial year, and £900 million in 2024/25, and as the unions have agreed, this means that the award is properly funded.</p><p>Although the Department will have to make difficult decisions, the Secretary of State has been clear all frontline services will be protected. Funding for early years, SEND, school conditions and core school and college budgets are fully protected. To help fund the pay award, the Secretary of State has also secured exceptional permission from the Treasury to keep money where there have been or will be underspends, which in normal years would have to be returned to Treasury.</p><p>The additional funding announced alongside the teachers’ pay award fully covers the cost of the pay award above 3.5%, nationally. The Department’s affordability calculation says that a 4% pay award should be affordable for the average school, and the Department is more than covering that calculation.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb grouped question UIN 194241 question first answered 26/07/2023 15:03:16 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/01/2023 answer text <p>The 2022 Autumn Statement has provided an additional increase in the core schools’ budget of £2.3 billion for both financial years 2023/24 and 2024/25.</p><p>Taking the Dedicated Schools Grant allocations and the additional funding announced in the 2022 Autumn Statement together, core schools funding is increasing by £3.5 billion in 2023/24, compared to 2022/23. This takes the total core schools budget for 2023/24 to £57.3 billion. The core schools budget will total £58.8 billion in 2024/25.</p><p>The ‘lagged’ funding system in the schools National Funding Formula, where schools are funded on the basis of their pupil numbers in the previous October census, helps to give schools more certainty over funding levels. This aids their planning, and is particularly important in giving schools that see year on year reductions in their pupil numbers time to re-organise their staffing and costs.</p><p>Local Authorities are also allocated growth funding, which they can use to support schools with falling rolls. This funding can be used to support good and outstanding schools with falling rolls where local planning data shows that the surplus places will be needed with the next three financial years. In 2022/23, 24 out of 150 Local Authorities chose to have falling rolls funds.</p><p>The Department has consulted on changes to the role of the Local Authority in managing pupil growth, and falling rolls, as part of our consultation ‘Implementing the Direct National Funding Formula’. This included proposals on allowing some additional flexibility on how Local Authorities can operate their falling rolls funds.</p><p>The Department will publish the Government response to this consultation in spring 2023.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 26/01/2023 12:36:10 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/01/2022 answer text <p>We have allocated £11.3 billion since 2015 to maintain and improve the condition of school facilities, including £1.8 billion in the 2021/22 financial year. We expect to publish details of funding allocations for the 2022/23 financial year in the spring this year, and to provide details for the 2023/24 financial year in 2023.</p><p>The department allocates condition funding each year to schools and those responsible for school buildings to improve and maintain the condition of the school estate. Local authorities, large multi-academy trusts (MATs) and large voluntary-aided (VA) bodies receive an annual school condition allocation (SCA) to invest in condition priorities across the schools for which they are responsible. Allocations and the methodology for calculating SCA for the 2021-22 financial year can be found online here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/guidance/school-capital-funding" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/guidance/school-capital-funding</a></p><p>Smaller or stand-alone academy trusts and VA bodies are instead able to bid into the Condition Improvement Fund (CIF). The CIF is an annual bidding round to apply for capital funding that is usually launched in autumn each year, with outcomes announced in spring.</p><p>In June 2020, my right hon. Friend, the Prime Minister, announced a new 10 year rebuilding programme which will deliver 500 projects over the next decade, replacing many poor condition and ageing school buildings with modern designs that will be net zero carbon in operation.</p><p>We have confirmed the first 100 schools in the programme. We expect to set out the response to our recent consultation on the approach to prioritising further schools shortly, as well as details of the next round of the programme.</p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 24/01/2022 17:09:22 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker
