answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/03/2019 answer text <p>There are no current plans to provide dance and drama as subject areas in their own right. Dance and drama are compulsory within the National Curriculum as part of the physical education (PE) and English programmes of study, respectively. My right hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Education has made a commitment to make no further significant changes to the curriculum or to qualifications, other than those already announced, during the remainder of this Parliament.</p><p>Through the Primary PE and sport premium, the Government has invested over £1 billion of ring fenced funding to primary schools to improve PE and sport since 2013. Schools can use this to provide dance activities if they wish. The Government is also piloting Youth Performance Partnerships pilots; new partnerships between arts organisations and schools to help children and young people take part in drama performance.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 19/03/2019 15:04:47 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/03/2019 answer text <p>The pupil premium is additional funding that schools are allocated to help improve the progress and attainment of disadvantaged pupils - those who have been in receipt of benefits-based free school meals at any point in the last 6 years, are currently looked-after or who have left care through adoption or other specified routes.</p><p>Schools have flexibility over how they spend the pupil premium, as they are best placed to understand and respond to the needs of their disadvantaged pupils.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/06/2018 answer text <p>The department and the academy trust responsible for the Isle of Wight Studio School – the Inspire Academy Trust – both agree that the school is not viable. The school was established to be a provision for 14 to 19 year olds (years 10 to 13); however, pupil numbers are currently at only 40% of capacity, providing education for 14 to 16 year olds only (years 10 and 11).</p><p> </p><p>Ormiston Academies Trust submitted a bid for emergency school improvement funding, to support to the current year 10 and 11 cohorts until 2019. Ormiston later withdrew this application, as they were not able to demonstrate that their support would be sustainable long-term.</p><p> </p><p>On 28 February 2018, Inspire Academy Trust informed the Regional Schools Commissioner of its proposal to close the Isle of Wight Studio School. Prior to making an in principle decision for closure, the department explored alternative options for the future of the school. The Regional Schools Commissioner and the Inspire Academy Trust spoke to potential alternative trusts about sponsoring the studio school. However, the long-term viability of the school presented challenges to finding a trust willing to proceed.</p><p> </p><p>The department is considering responses to the listening period, which ended on 22 May. A final decision on the closure of the school will be made in light of these, and to ensure that the educational provision on the island is of the highest quality and provides genuine value.</p><p> </p><p>Revenue and capital costs associated with the studio schools are published on GOV.UK at:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/revenue-spending-on-open-and-withdrawn-utcs-and-studio-schools" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/revenue-spending-on-open-and-withdrawn-utcs-and-studio-schools</a> and <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/capital-funding-for-open-free-schools" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/capital-funding-for-open-free-schools</a>.</p><p> </p><p>Additional, updated revenue and capital costs for individual free schools, university technical colleges and studio schools are due to be published in the coming months.</p> answering member constituency Guildford answering member printed Anne Milton grouped question UIN 147458 147459 147460 147461 147462 147463 question first answered 05/06/2018 17:02:18 answering member 1523 label Biography information for Anne Milton
