star this property answer text <p>In August 2020, we provided £8 million for the Wellbeing for Education Return programme to support staff working in schools and colleges to respond to the additional mental health and wellbeing challenges as a direct result of the COVID-19 outbreak.</p><p>National training materials were created with input from heath partners, mental health experts, local authorities, and schools and colleges. Funding was distributed to each upper tier local authority in England to recruit local experts to offer additional training and support to nominated staff in local schools and colleges. The national training resources can be found here: <a href="https://www.minded.org.uk/Catalogue/Index?HierarchyId=0_48943_49165&amp;programmeId=48943" target="_blank">https://www.minded.org.uk/Catalogue/Index?HierarchyId=0_48943_49165&amp;programmeId=48943</a>.</p><p>Local experts from 96% of England’s local authority areas, including the City of York, attended interactive training on delivering Wellbeing for Education Return materials and support into schools and colleges. It was then for local authorities to determine how best to use the training materials and funding in their local areas, and we do not hold information specifically on how many teaching staff, or support staff were trained in the City of York.</p><p>Overall, information from local authorities indicates that up to 12,000 schools and colleges[1] in England received additional free expert training, support and resources for staff dealing with children and young people experiencing additional pressures from the last year, including trauma, anxiety, or grief.</p><p>Most local areas also confirmed they tailored their support to meet the specific needs of local schools and colleges, offering interactive online training sessions and follow up support on key themes to support the mental health and wellbeing of staff, pupils and students.</p><p>[1] This figure has been generated from our Wellbeing for Education Return Management Information 4 collection sent out to local authority leads in March 2021. The figure was calculated as a total of the estimated number of education settings each responding local authority said they had delivered training to as a result of, or using some materials provided by, Wellbeing for Education Return. This includes both live and recorded sessions. The figure is based on a return rate of 80% which equates to 122 local authorities out of a total of 151 who were sent the Management Information Return.</p><p> </p>

star this property answer text <p>To help understand the impact of COVID-19 on the early years (EY) sector, from 6 April 2020, the Department of Education asked local authorities to regularly report to the department information on the number of children in attendance, including the number of settings open or closed. The last collection of summer term was on the 16 July 2021. For Autumn term this data will be collected on a monthly basis with the first data collection being on Thursday 16 September 2021. The department will use this data to work with the EY team in York to address any emerging sufficiency issues including children affected by a lack of place.</p><p>The linked table shows the number of registered childcare providers and places in York local authority as at 31 March 2021. The data as at 31 August 2021 is not available until November 2021: <a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/996094/Childcare_providers_and_inspections_charts_and_tables_31_March_2021.xlsx" target="_blank">https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/996094/Childcare_providers_and_inspections_charts_and_tables_31_March_2021.xlsx</a>.</p><p> </p><p>The most recently published results (wave 3) of the ‘Survey of childcare and early years providers and coronavirus’, published in March this year, set out that 98% of school-based providers, 96% of group-based providers, and 89% of childminders reported being open at the time of the survey being taken. This data is available here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/survey-of-childcare-and-early-years-providers-and-coronavirus-covid-19-wave-3" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/survey-of-childcare-and-early-years-providers-and-coronavirus-covid-19-wave-3</a>.</p><p> </p><p>We have not seen a significant number of parents unable to secure a childcare place in any part of England, in the summer term, during the most recent lockdown in the spring term, or since early years settings re-opened fully on 1 June 2020. Where parents have been unable to temporarily secure a childcare place, for example due to their usual setting being temporarily closed due to the COVID-19 outbreak, this has been quickly resolved locally, and local authorities are not reporting sufficiency of supply issues. The next Ofsted statistical release on the number of childcare places is due to be published in November 2021.</p><p> </p><p>We continue to work with the early years sector and officials from the department regularly speak with York City Council’s EY team to understand how they can best be supported to ensure that sufficient safe, appropriate and affordable childcare is available for those who need it now, and for all families who need it in the longer term.</p><p> </p><p>Department officials have a scheduled call with the EY teams in all local authorities every 6-8 weeks where sufficiency of childcare places is discussed alongside a wider exchange of information on the delivery of early education entitlements. Local authorities are also encouraged to liaise with their Department for Education regional lead official as soon as possible if sufficiency issues were to arise. From the latest information we have from discussions with York, there are no immediate or emerging sufficiency issues in the local authority area.</p>

star this property answer text <p>The department supports sustainability through our capital funding and programmes, both to reduce carbon emissions and save schools money. Responsible bodies, such as local authorities, academy trusts and dioceses can use their capital funding allocations to invest in improving energy efficiency in schools.</p><p>Since 2015, the department has allocated £11.3 billion to maintain and improve school buildings, including improving energy efficiency. This includes £1.8 billion for the financial year 2021/22.</p><p>Local authorities receive an annual School Condition Allocation (SCA) to invest in capital maintenance and upgrades across the schools for which they are responsible. All schools also receive funding to spend on their capital priorities through an annual Devolved Formula Capital (DFC) allocation.</p><p>The SCA and DFC allocated to City of York Council in previous financial years is set out in the table below. The SCA total in 2020/21 includes an extra £377,261 from the additional £560 million announced that year for essential maintenance and upgrades. The DFC total in 2018/19 includes an extra £454,917 from the additional £400 million announced in that year. Large multi-academy trusts and voluntary-aided (VA) school bodies (such as dioceses) also receive SCA. These allocations typically cover schools across multiple local authority boundaries so are not included below. All SCA funding is published on GOV.UK.</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Financial Year</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>SCA for maintained schools</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>DFC for maintained schools</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2017/18</p></td><td><p>£1,464,231</p></td><td><p>£360,494</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2018/19</p></td><td><p>£971,129</p></td><td><p>£738,904</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2019/20</p></td><td><p>£841,590</p></td><td><p>£234,432</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2020/21</p></td><td><p>£1,189,594</p></td><td><p>£223,405</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2021/22</p></td><td><p>£1,451,067</p></td><td><p>£230,768</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Total</strong></p></td><td><p>£5,917,612</p></td><td><p>£1,788,003</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>Smaller multi-academy or stand-alone trusts, other voluntary-aided schools and sixth form colleges are able to bid to the Condition Improvement Fund (CIF) each year. The department welcomes CIF applications from eligible schools for energy efficiency projects, but only where the project addresses an existing priority condition need.</p><p>Funding allocated to schools in York through CIF in the past five years is set out in the table below. The department defined energy efficiency projects as those that have a significantly positive impact on energy efficiency, such as improvements to heating systems and repairs or replacements of windows and roofs, and where improvements in energy efficiency were set out in the CIF application.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>CIF round (financial year)</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Total funding to schools in York</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Funding to energy efficiency projects</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2017/18</p></td><td><p>£250,142</p></td><td><p>£250,142</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2018/19</p></td><td><p>£2,167,450</p></td><td><p>£2,167,450</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2019/20</p></td><td><p>£3,051,832</p></td><td><p>£1,650,275</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2020/21</p></td><td><p>£1,368,742</p></td><td><p>£983,325</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2021/22</p></td><td><p>£1,216,612</p></td><td><p>£0</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Total</strong></p></td><td><p>£8,054,778</p></td><td><p>£5,051,192</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>The department also invests in centrally delivered programmes. There has been a total of three schools in the York local authority area that have benefited from the Priority School Building Programme, with a total investment of over £9 million. New school buildings are easy to operate and reduce operational energy use. Additionally, Hempland Primary School in York will be part of the new School Rebuilding Programme (SRP). New school buildings delivered under the SRP will be modern, energy-efficient buildings that are net zero carbon in operation, helping to meet the government’s net zero target to tackle climate change.</p><p>In addition, the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy set up the £1 billion Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme (PSDS) in 2020 which provided grants for eligible public sector bodies, including schools, to fund energy efficiency and heat decarbonisation measures across their estate. Phase three of the PSDS will be open for applications from 6 October.</p><p>Alongside this substantial investment in the school estate, the department has provided schools and responsible bodies with guidance on energy efficiency such as minimising energy, water, and waste within our Good Estate Management for Schools manual.</p>

The SAIS will be the primary provider of the vaccination programme for healthy 12 to 15 year olds and will be legally responsible for the delivery of the vaccine.</p><p>Schools will have three primary roles, which will be familiar to them from other vaccination programmes. They are to provide information to their SAIS provider on which children on their roll are eligible for the vaccine, share the information leaflet, consent form and invitation letter supplied by the SAIS team with parents and children, and provide space within school, and time away from the timetable, to enable vaccinations to take place.</p><p>The department does not expect additional resource implications for schools.</p>

Whether or not an individual student is entitled to a refund of fees will depend on the specific contractual arrangements between the higher education provider and student.</p><p>The government has now lifted the restrictions on in-person teaching and therefore universities should not be limiting face-to-face learning based on COVID-19 restrictions. We expect all universities to continue to deliver excellent learning, in line with guidance from the Office for Students (OfS), to provide students with a full experience. The OfS will be monitoring to ensure this is the case, and universities should be open about what students can expect.</p><p>If students have concerns, they should first raise them with their higher education provider. If their concerns remain unresolved, students at providers in England or Wales can ask the Office of the Independent Adjudicator (OIA) for Higher Education to consider their complaint.

Following careful consideration of the issues raised in consultation responses, the former Secretary of State for Education issued Terms and Conditions of funding to the OfS (in relation to London Weighting and high-cost subject funding) to ensure the government’s priorities for the grant were implemented this year.</p><p>For the 2021-22 academic year, the high-cost subject funding rate for arts and music courses has been set at £121.50 – this is equivalent to a reduction of around 1% in combined funding (on a per-student basis) from a £9,250 tuition fee and OfS grant funding compared to 2020-21. Total funding for high-cost subjects, such as medicine and engineering, is 12% higher than last year, an increase of £81 million[2].</p><p>The government continues to value performing arts and creative subjects. High quality provision in a range of subjects is critical for our workforce and our public services, as well as being intellectually rewarding and culturally enriching for those studying them and wider society.</p><p>As part of the same reform programme, we asked the OfS to invest an additional £10 million in our world-leading specialist providers, many of which specialise in arts provision. We want to ensure that such providers receive additional support, and that grant funding is used effectively to support students, including those with an interest in the cultural and creative sectors.</p><p>The government supports the arts throughout the education system. For example, the government has invested nearly £620 million during 2016-21 in a diverse portfolio of music and cultural education programmes to ensure all school children, whatever their background, have access to a high-quality education in music and arts[3].</p><p>[1] <a href="https://www.officeforstudents.org.uk/media/a3814453-4c28-404a-bf76-490183867d9a/rt-hon-gavin-williamson-cbe-mp-t-grant-ofs-chair-smb.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.officeforstudents.org.uk/media/a3814453-4c28-404a-bf76-490183867d9a/rt-hon-gavin-williamson-cbe-mp-t-grant-ofs-chair-smb.pdf</a>.</p><p>[2] <a href="https://www.officeforstudents.org.uk/media/b2eaeeb4-7fed-4eda-9868-a4671f170129/recurrent-funding-2021-22.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.officeforstudents.org.uk/media/b2eaeeb4-7fed-4eda-9868-a4671f170129/recurrent-funding-2021-22.pdf</a> Table 2: Recurrent grant budgets for academic year 2021-22 (£ millions).</p><p>[3] <a href="https://questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-questions/detail/2021-09-06/43435" target="_blank">https://questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-questions/detail/2021-09-06/43435</a>.</p>

star this property answer text <p>The consultation on the statutory guidance for relationships, sex and health education (RSHE) curriculum revealed that many teachers and subject leads needed training and support to deliver the new content. The department invested in a package of support to develop teacher capability and competence to teach high quality RSHE. The package of support included a training and peer support programme, delivered by teaching schools and based on the department’s training modules which were developed with subject experts and tested with teachers. In the 2020/21 academic year, the programme reached 3,800 schools, and provisional data for the last wave, which ended in July, shows a further 1,000 schools have been supported. This is a cascade model of training whereby those trained are expected to share the training with other teachers in their school and wider school networks. Teaching schools have made their training materials and other resources freely available on their websites. The department’s training modules are also freely available for all schools to download via the following link: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/guidance/teaching-about-relationships-sex-and-health" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/guidance/teaching-about-relationships-sex-and-health</a>.</p><p>The department is developing plans to monitor national implementation of RSHE over time, including new quantitative and qualitative research, which will seek to understand the quality of implementation, including teacher confidence in teaching the statutory requirements, and identifying training and support needs to inform future policy development.</p>
