We have not yet agreed which schools we will offer intensive support to through the programme. We expect that there will be key secondary schools in each of the 12 local authority areas. Local authorities and academy trusts will be invited to inform prioritisation of schools to receive the additional support from the programme before the end of the autumn term.<\/p>

Opportunity North East is a pan regional programme. The £12 million we have announced for early roll-out of the Early Career Teacher Framework will benefit all schools in the North East, and the remaining £12 million will be spent across the five priorities that my right hon. Friend, the Secretary of State has set out<\/p>

<\/p>

Improving secondary performance is at the core of the programme, and we expect this to be reflected in the way that resources are allocated to have the impact we want to see. We recognise that there are some areas within the North East that feel the challenges we have set out particularly acutely, evidenced across a range of indicators including: the areas identified in the bottom two sextiles using the Achieving Excellence Areas methodology, educational performance at key stage 4, and the proportion of secondary aged pupils that are able to attend Good or Outstanding schools. Within the context of a pan regional programme, it is important that we ensure that those areas benefit appropriately from this programme.<\/p>

<\/p>

My right hon. Friend, the Secretary of State has been clear that Opportunity North East is about working in partnership with stakeholders from across the region. My noble Friend, the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for the School System will be convening a Strategic Board to oversee the programme, made up of representatives from local authorities and the education and business sectors in the North East. The board\u2019s remit will include developing ambitious but realistic performance metrics for improvements across the region in secondary outcomes, progression to higher education and teacher recruitment and retention; and informing decisions about how funding will be used. The board will also be responsible for approving the final set of schools to receive intensive support.<\/p>

The government is committed to ensuring parents who want it have access to high-quality childcare to support them financially and to enable them to work, or work more hours. We do not expect all parents who are eligible for the 30 hours offer to take up a place for their child - parents may choose to use other childcare arrangements, for example, family members.<\/p>

Parents who are eligible for 30 hours but do not apply are eligible for the universal 15 hour per week early education entitlement. They can also take advantage of Tax-Free Childcare which was introduced earlier this year.<\/p>

All free school applications are subject to a rigorous application process. Each application, including those with a nursery element, is assessed against published criteria. The assessment process includes consideration of the capacity and track record of proposers, financial viability and value for money.<\/p>

The cost of a nursery in a free school is integrated into the total cost of the project. It is not possible to separate out the costs of the nursery alone, as they will generally share facilities and services with the school itself.<\/p>

For the purposes of forecasting, we estimate that the average additional per pupil cost of including a nursery within a primary free school is around £12,000 excluding VAT. For actual projects, costs will depend on a variety of local circumstances including site specifications and pupil numbers.<\/p>

Where local authorities (LAs) identify the need for a new school, they must seek proposals to establish a new free school. They are responsible for setting the specifications (including for a nursery) and assessing applications. LAs are responsible for meeting the associated capital costs, principally using basic need funding provided by the department.<\/p>

LAs are also responsible for approving proposals for new voluntary-aided schools, including where proposals include nursery provision. LAs and proposers are responsible for meeting the associated capital costs, with the proposer expected to cover up to 10% of this amount.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4113", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Stratford-on-Avon"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Nadhim Zahawi"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-10-29", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "groupedQuestionUIN" : {"_value" : "182804"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "previousAnswerVersion" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/993546/answer/previousversion/81198", "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4113", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Stratford-on-Avon"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Nadhim Zahawi"} } , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-10-29T16:10:44.753Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "60"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Education"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Education"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-10-23", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Primary Education: Nurseries"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Education, pursuant to the Answer of 19 October 2018 to Question 179290 on Primary education: nurseries, whether a cost benefit analysis is undertaken on plans for new primary schools (a) with and (b) without nursery provision.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4588", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Tracy Brabin"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Batley and Spen"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Tracy Brabin"} ], "uin" : "182803"} ], "itemsPerPage" : 10, "next" : "http://eldaddp.azurewebsites.net/answeredquestions.text?_page=1&answer.answeringMemberConstituency=Stratford-on-Avon&max-date=2019-02-06&max-answer.dateOfAnswer=2018-10-29", "page" : 0, "startIndex" : 1, "totalResults" : 1258, "type" : ["http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#ListEndpoint", "http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#Page"]} }
