answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/03/2019 answer text <p>On Secondary National Offer Day on 1 March 2019, the vast majority of parents will have been offered a place at one of their preferred schools. The 2018 data showed that last year more than nine in ten pupils got a place at one of their top three choices, setting them on the path for a successful future. Standards have also risen since 2010 with 86% of schools now judged as good or outstanding, compared to 68% in 2010, meaning there are more good schools for parents to send their children to - and that is in part down to the Government’s reforms.</p><p>The vast majority of new places are being created in the best existing schools or through good new schools. Data show 91% of places added in 2016/17 were in good and outstanding schools. Overall, the Government is on track to create 1 million new school places this decade (2010 to 2020), the largest increase in school capacity in 2 generations.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 11/03/2019 17:44:34 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/03/2019 answer text <p>Spending plans beyond 2019/20 will be set at next Spending Review and these decisions cannot be pre-empted. The Department is committed to securing the right deal for education and ensuring schools are able to plan their budgets effectively for future years.</p><p>While the core schools and high needs budget is rising from almost £41 billion in 2017/18 to £43.5 billion by 2019/20, the Department recognises the budgeting challenges schools face. That is why School Resource Management Strategy was published in August 2018, which sets out the support, current and planned, to help schools make the most of their available resources. The strategy can be found here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/supporting-excellent-school-resource-management" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/supporting-excellent-school-resource-management</a>.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 11/03/2019 17:43:17 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb
