answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/09/2019 answer text <p>On Friday 30 August the department announced an over £14 billion, 3 year settlement for primary and secondary schools.</p><p> </p><p>This funding package builds on the government reforms which have seen education standards in England increase, with more primary school children on track to become fluent readers, more 19 year olds leaving education with English and mathematics GCSEs, and almost one million school places created.</p><p> </p><p>This funding package builds on the reform agenda that we have pursued since 2010 which has driven better standards, rigour, discipline and outcomes for pupils in England.</p><p> </p><p>This settlement includes cash increases of £2.6 billion for 2020-21, £4.8 billion for 2021-22 and £7.1 billion for 2022-23 compared with 2019-20. Part of this settlement includes over £700 million more for the special educational needs and disabilities budget in 2020-21 compared to this year, which is equivalent to an increase of over 11%.</p><p> </p><p>In addition, the settlement also includes £1.5 billion in each of the next 3 years for teachers’ pensions. This is on top of the £14 billion overall increase.</p><p> </p><p>The £14 billion means the department can ‘level up’ school funding by raising the minimum per pupil funding to all secondary schools to £5,000 next year, and the minimum per pupil funding for primary schools to £3,750 in 2020-21 and £4,000 in 2021-22.</p><p> </p><p>This will bring the schools budget to £52.2 billion by 2022-3 and will deliver on my right hon. Friend, the Prime Minister’s pledge to deliver the following:</p><ul><li>increase school funding by £4.6 billion a year above inflation;</li><li>delivering minimum secondary school funding of £5,000 per pupil; and</li><li>delivering minimum primary school funding of £4,000 per pupil by 2022-23.</li></ul><p> </p><p>In doing so, the government is giving all young people the same opportunities to succeed — regardless of where they grow up or go to school— and providing for a real terms increase in per pupil funding in all schools next year. The funding formula will ensure that all parts of the UK will receive significant funding uplifts.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency South Staffordshire answering member printed Gavin Williamson question first answered 04/09/2019 14:48:29 answering member 4108 label Biography information for Sir Gavin Williamson previous answer version 132430 answering member constituency South Staffordshire answering member printed Gavin Williamson answering member 4108 label Biography information for Sir Gavin Williamson

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many additional nursery places have been created since June 2017.
tabling member constituency	Ashton-under-Lyne
tabling member printed	Angela Rayner
uin	282374
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/09/2019 answer text <p>The childcare market is primarily a private sector market, so the number of childcare places will reflect how the market responds to parental demand and changes in the child population. As such, the number of places is monitored by Ofsted and not by the government. However, the government has invested in a number of capital programmes.</p><p>As part of the School Nurseries Capital Fund, the department recently allocated nearly £24 million for 69 successful projects across every region of England. This will help to create new school-based nursery places in disadvantaged areas so more children can access high-quality early education.</p><p>The department has supported the growth and creation of additional nursery places to deliver the 30 hours entitlement. In 2016, the department ran a £100 million early years capital bid round. Local authorities, in partnership with providers, were invited to submit bids. The department announced that over 350 projects across 123 local authorities were successful in this bid round.</p><p>The free schools that have opened since 2017 have created over 650 full-time equivalent nursery places, with plans for over 100 full-time equivalent more places in the future. Since 1 June 2017, 3 new local authority maintained schools have opened with nursery provision.</p><p>On 31 March 2019, there were 1.3 million childcare places offered by providers on the Ofsted Early Years Register.</p> answering member constituency Saffron Walden answering member printed Mrs Kemi Badenoch question first answered 03/09/2019 07:35:21 answering member 4597 label Biography information for Kemi Badenoch

uin	282375
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/09/2019 answer text <p>The government is determined to ensure disadvantaged students are supported in their post-16 education.
