	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/12/2018 answer text <p>The Department does not allocate funding specifically for staffing. Schools are best placed to make decisions about how to use their funding to deliver the best outcomes for their pupils.</p><p>The total funding allocated through the schools block of the dedicated schools grant in each of the last five years is shown below:</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Year</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Dedicated schools grant, <br>schools block funding (in millions)</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2014-15</p></td><td><p>£30,655</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2015-16</p></td><td><p>£32,168</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2016-17</p></td><td><p>£32,650</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2017-18</p></td><td><p>£33,094</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2018-19</p></td><td><p>£33,684[1]</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p> </p><p>[1] This figure is not directly comparable to previous years as the central schools services block was introduced in 2018-19. Prior to 2018-19, much of that funding was provided through the schools block. Re-baselining was carried out in this year due to the introduction of the national funding formula, which led to some funding movements between blocks.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 06/12/2018 18:05:21 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/12/2018 answer text <p>The Department is allocating an additional £400 million capital funding to schools and other eligible educational institutions in 2018–19 to spend on capital projects which meet their own priorities.

This supports the Government’s priority of ensuring the school estate is well maintained and helps provide a high-quality education.</p><p> </p><p>The Department plans to publish a calculator in December, so that schools can estimate their allocation and make plans to spend the money. Individual allocations will be published in January, with the funding distributed shortly afterwards. An average primary school is expected to receive £10,000 and an average secondary school, £50,000.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb grouped question UIN 198257 question first answered 06/12/2018 08:58:10 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb
