We are allocating an additional £400 million capital funding to schools in 2018\u201319. This funding is in addition to the £1.4 billion of condition allocations already provided this year to those responsible for maintaining school buildings. This supports our priority of ensuring the school estate is well maintained and helps provide a high-quality education.<\/p>
I can confirm that maintained nursery schools will benefit from the funding, along with primary and secondary schools, academies and free schools, non-maintained special schools, pupil referral units, and sixth-form colleges. It will also be allocated to those specialist post-16 institutions that have eligible state-funded pupils.<\/p>
We plan to publish a ready reckoner by December, so that schools can estimate their allocations. We expect to publish the final allocations in the new year.<\/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" : "2018-11-01", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-11-01T17:23:01.527Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "60"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Education"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Education"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-10-29", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Pre-school Education: Finance"} , "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, with reference to paragraph 5.20 of Budget 2018, how much of the £400 million will be allocated to to maintained nursery schools.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4263", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lucy Powell"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Manchester Central"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Lucy Powell"} ], "uin" : "185052"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/985695", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Education"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/985695/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
Local authorities are responsible for setting the local funding for providers, including maintained nursery schools. The department publishes data from local authority planned early years budget in the Early Years Funding Benchmarking Tool. The tool provides a breakdown of spend by early years provider types, including budget information for maintained nursery schools. The data is as reported by the local authorities and is available at:<\/p>

The majority of new trusts taking on an academy from another need no additional financial support and are voluntary transfers, as the trusts recognise the benefits of collaboration with a larger trust. Transferring land and other contracts to a new trust can take time and trusts prefer to align the transfer with the start of term or the new academic year.<\/p> <\/p>"}
