answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/11/2021 answer text <p>Schools and those responsible for school buildings receive condition funding through different routes depending on their size and type. Local authorities, larger multi-academy trusts and large voluntary aided school bodies, such as dioceses, receive a School Condition Allocation (SCA) to invest in priorities across the schools for which they are responsible. Smaller or stand-alone academy trusts, other voluntary aided schools and sixth-form colleges can bid to the Condition Improvement Fund (CIF) which launched its first annual round for the 2015-16 financial year. Schools are either eligible to apply for CIF or receive condition funding through the SCA made to their responsible body, and all schools are also allocated devolved formula capital (DFC) to spend on small projects that meet their own priorities. An overview of school capital funding is available on GOV.uk along with published lists of SCA and DFC allocations at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/guidance/school-capital-funding" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/guidance/school-capital-funding</a>.</p><p>Eligible schools in Harlow have been granted the following funding through CIF:</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Application round</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>CIF funding provided to Harlow schools</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2015-16</p></td><td><p>£2,897,605</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2016-17</p></td><td><p>£2,368,748</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2017-18</p></td><td><p>£2,787,638</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2018-19</p></td><td><p>£2,199,129</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2019-20</p></td><td><p>£3,765,627</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2020-21</p></td><td><p>£2,328,752</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2021-22</p></td><td><p>£6,588,755</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>The department publishes final funding amounts on individual projects once all projects in an annual round have completed.

uin	62699
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/11/2021 answer text <p>This year, 2021-22, schools in Harlow are attracting £5,153 per pupil (including additional pay and pensions funding) through the schools national funding formula (NFF). Next year, 2022-23, this NFF funding will increase to £5,291 per pupil. In 2018-19, schools in Harlow attracted £4,513 per pupil.</p><p>The 2021-22 and 2022-23 figures cannot be directly compared to the 2018-19 figures due to the introduction of the teacher’s pay and pension grant that was rolled into the NFF in 2021-22. The figures for 2021-22 and 2022-23 include this additional funding.</p><p>In the recent Spending Review, a further increase in the Core Schools Budget, nationally, of £1.6 billion in 2022-23 was announced. This increase is not included in the figures above; we will be announcing its distribution shortly.</p><p>These figures are based on notional school-level NFF allocations. Constituency figures based on actual school-level Dedicated Schools Grant allocations are available here: <a href="https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/constituency-data-schools-funding/" target="_blank">https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/constituency-data-schools-funding/</a>.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 03/11/2021 14:54:18 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/11/2021 answer text <p>The Government is committed to supporting families this winter, helping them to meet the cost of living, and ensuring that work continues to pay.</p><p> </p><p>Over the winter, the £500 million Household Support Fund will help vulnerable households with the cost of essentials such as food, clothing and utilities. £421 million of the fund will be distributed through local authorities in England, who are best placed to ensure it reaches those who need it most. This fund builds on the Warm Home Discount, which provides a £140 rebate to help 2.2 million low income households with their energy bills, and the government energy price cap, which has protected around 15 million households on default tariffs, saving them up to £100 a year since 2019.</p><p> </p><p>To further support low income families, we have provided £670m for local authorities to support households struggling with their council tax bills, £140m for Discretionary Housing Payments, and over £200m a year to continue the Holiday Activities and Food Programme. We have also maintained the increase in cash terms to the Local Housing Allowance rates for UC and Housing Benefit claimants in 2021-22.</p><p> </p><p>Alongside these measures we are maintaining our focus on helping people back into work. Work is the best route out of poverty. As a child growing up in a home where all the adults work is around five times less likely to be in poverty than a child growing up in a home where nobody works (before housing costs). As part of the comprehensive Plan for Jobs, the Government announced the Kickstart scheme which has so far created nearly 95,000 jobs for young people at risk of becoming long-term unemployed, and the three year Restart scheme, which provides intensive and tailored support to long-term unemployed Universal Credit claimants across England and Wales.</p> answering member constituency Middlesbrough South and East Cleveland answering member printed Mr Simon Clarke question first answered 02/11/2021 14:07:40 answering member 4655 label Biography information for Sir Simon Clarke
