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>

answer text <p>Information on when schools finish their school day is not held centrally.</p><p>It is unacceptable for schools to shorten their working week when it is not a direct action to support and enhance their pupils’ education. According to the Institute for Fiscal Studies, funding for the average primary school class is £132,000, and funding for that same class of children in secondary school would be £171,000. These amounts are to cover a full five-day week in term time.</p><p>All schools have the autonomy to decide the structure and duration of their school day, which includes the flexibility to decide when their school day should start and finish. The Department trusts that headteachers will do this in a sensible manner.</p><p>All maintained schools are required to educate pupils for at least 380 sessions each school year. They cannot reduce the length of the school week if this would take the total number of sessions below that.</p><p> </p> more like this

answer text <p>Between 2017-18 and the end of May 2019, the department has spent £69 million on pre-opening start-up grants to support local authority schools to convert to become academies. This includes the conversion of failing local authority schools to become sponsored academies in order to improve pupil outcomes. In addition, further capital costs are incurred for some cases where the fabric of school buildings has not been sufficiently well maintained.</p><p>Further details can be found in in the table below:</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Financial Year</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Spend </strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2017-18</p></td><td><p>£38 million</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2018-19</p></td><td><p>£30 million</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2019-20 (as at end of May 2019)</p></td><td><p>£1 million</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Total</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>£69 million</strong></p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>Future years’ spending plans have yet to be determined and will form part of the next Spending Review.</p><p>Academy status leads to a more dynamic and responsive education system by allowing schools to make decisions based on local need and the interests of their pupils.</p><p>My right hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Education, is required by legislation to intervene in underperforming maintained schools rated inadequate by Ofsted and to issue an academy order for the school to become a sponsored academy. Recent research found that sponsored academies, particularly those open longest, have made substantial gains in performance in comparison with similar non-academy schools. The latest figures show that over 7 out of 10 sponsored academies are good or outstanding, replacing schools that were mostly underperforming. 85% of children are now in good or outstanding schools, compared to just 66% in 2010, and this is in part down to our reforms.</p><p>Where academies choose to come together in academy trusts, they can take advantage of economies of scale and drive down the costs of procurement and so are able to invest more in teaching. By working in partnership with each other, schools can benefit from sharing staff, curriculum expertise and effective pedagogy.</p>
