All of these independent schools were approved as sponsors prior to 2017.</p><p>Of the free schools we have opened since 2017, the London Academy of Excellence (LAE) in Tottenham was set up by an independent school, Highgate School. LAE Tottenham is supported by Highgate School, as well as eight other leading independent partner schools.</p><p>The school’s sister school, LAE Stratford, was set up by Brighton College in 2012. The school reported that in the 2018/19 academic year, 26 students received offers from Oxford or Cambridge. This is an outstanding achievement, especially in a geographic area with relatively low Oxbridge destinations.</p><p>The Department has a joint understanding with the Independent Schools Council to encourage more independent schools to work in partnership with state-funded schools across four key areas: governance, teaching, curriculum and targeted school improvement. The Department announced funding for cross-sector partnerships in June and will invite bids in the autumn.</p><p>The joint understanding also encourages independent schools to offer a greater number of full bursary places, targeted at children from disadvantaged backgrounds.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 08/08/2019 16:23:44 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb previous answer version 131225 answering member constituency Orpington answering member printed Joseph Johnson answering member 4039 label Biography information for Lord Johnson of Marylebone

	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
