In response to the legally binding target of reducing UK carbon emissions to net zero by 2050, the Department is reviewing building standards and specifications for school buildings to ensure this can be met. This will include data gathering, investigation of appropriate actions and effectiveness of any actions to reduce emissions.<\/p>

No school uniform should be so expensive as to leave pupils or their families feeling unable to apply to a school.

The Government recognises that Maintained Nursery Schools (MNS) are an important part of the early years sector and provide valuable services to disadvantaged children.<\/p>
Last October, we announced increases in hourly funding rates paid to local authorities for the early education entitlements for 2020-21.<\/p>
In 2020-21, all local authorities will see an increase of 8p an hour to the hourly funding rates for the 2-year-old entitlement and an increase of 8p an hour for the vast majority of areas for the 3- and 4-year-old entitlement.<\/p>
In addition to the hourly funding rates above, we invest approximately £60 million in \u2018maintained nursery school supplementary funding\u2019 each financial year, to allow local authorities to preserve MNS funding levels and last October we announced that this additional funding will continue at its current level for the whole of the 2020-21 financial year.<\/p>
Details of funding paid to local authorities can be found here:<\/p>
