<p>I refer the hon. Member for Bristol West to the answer I gave on 22 March 2022
to Question <a href="https://questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-questions/detail/2022-03-10/138095"
target="_blank">138095</a> and on 28 March 2022 to Question <a href="https://questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-questions/detail/2022-03-23/145876"
target="_blank">145876</a>.</p><p>The department recognises that schools will be facing
cost pressures in the coming months, particularly due to the increase in energy prices.
We are looking carefully at how this will impact schools and considering what additional
support we can offer. Cost increases should be seen in the wider context of funding
and support for schools.</p>
