answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/07/2017 answer text <p>The department works closely with our national delivery contractor, Childcare Works, in supporting all local authorities (LA) to ensure they are ready to deliver from September 2017. LAs who have specific needs are offered targeted support packages. Each LA has a dedicated programme adviser assigned by Childcare Works to support them in their preparations for delivery.</p><p> </p><p>We are making record investments in the government’s free childcare offer: over £1 billion more per year by 2020. This includes £300 million per year for a significant increase to the hourly rates paid for two, three and four-year-old entitlement. From April 2017, the national average funding rates also increased to £4.94 for three and four-year-olds and £5.39 for two-year-olds. We are also investing £100m in capital funding to create nearly 18,000 additional places for eligible children to help meet demand from hardworking parents. This investment will support even more providers to deliver 30 hours.</p> answering member constituency Scarborough and Whitby answering member printed Mr Robert Goodwill question first answered 14/07/2017 10:38:28 answering member 1562 label Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/07/2017 answer text <p>The department’s revised Early Education and Childcare Statutory Guidance for Local Authorities provides clear guidance to local authorities and providers in delivering the existing free entitlements for two, three and four-year-olds and the 30 hours extended entitlement.</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/596460/early_education_and_childcare_statutory_guidance_2017.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/596460/early_education_and_childcare_statutory_guidance_2017.pdf</a>.</p><p>The guidance clearly sets out that providers can charge parents for meals, consumables (such as nappies and sun cream) and for additional activities (such as trips and yoga), as long as parents are not required to pay any fee as a condition of taking up their child’s free entitlement place. In April, the department also published Operational Guidance, providing practical examples and case studies of how the free entitlements can be delivered, including examples of charging models.</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/610170/Operational_guidance.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/610170/Operational_guidance.pdf</a>.</p> answering member constituency Scarborough and Whitby answering member printed Mr Robert Goodwill question first answered 14/07/2017 11:30:30 answering member 1562 label Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how much of her Department's budget allocated to 16 to 19-year old education was reallocated to other budgets in the financial years (a) 2014-15, (b) 2015-16 and (c) 2016-17.

uin	3811
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/07/2017 answer text <p>Budgets for 16 to 19-year-old education are set on the basis of the established 16 to 19 funding rates and formula, using estimates of student numbers. In 2014-15 and 2015-16 student numbers and associated costs were lower than these estimates, which resulted in lower spending than the forecast, by £135m and £132m respectively, representing 2.2% of the budget. This was available for reallocation. Because this resulted from student numbers which were slightly lower than forecast, it did not affect funding per student. Final expenditure is not yet available for 2016-17 and will be published in Education and Skills Funding Agency accounts in due course.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Guildford answering member printed Anne Milton question first answered 13/07/2017 15:10:44 answering member 1523 label Biography information for Anne Milton

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/07/2017 answer text <p>In March, we published a consultation document, ‘Primary Assessment in England’, which set out a number of proposals to improve the primary assessment system. One of those proposals was that a new assessment should be introduced in the reception year, to provide a new baseline for measuring the progress that pupils make at primary school. One of the potential benefits of introducing such an assessment would be that schools could receive greater credit for the education that they provide during reception, Year 1 and Year 2.</p><p>We made it clear that, once this new baseline assessment had become established, and its data available to calculate progress measures for pupils reaching the end of Key Stage 2, we would no longer require data from statutory assessments currently administered at the end of Key Stage 1.</p><p>We sought views on whether those Key Stage 1 assessments should be made non-statutory.</p><p>The consultation exercise closed on 22 June, and we will be publishing our response in due course. The consultation document is available to read at:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/primary-assessment-in-england" target="_blank">www.gov.uk/government/consultations/primary-assessment-in-england</a>.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 14/07/2017 13:45:35 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb
