Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how much funding each school received per pupil in the latest year for which figures are available.
Answered by David Laws
We now publish the schools block budget allocations in total and on a per-pupil basis annually, for every individual mainstream school, covering both maintained schools and academies. The most recent available figures are for the 2013 to 2014 financial year (for maintained schools) and 2013 to 2014 academic year (for academies) and are published at:
http://media.education.gov.uk/assets/files/xlsx/s/schools%20block%20data%20file.xlsx
The schools block budget allocations exclude early years, high needs and post-16 funding. They also exclude the pupil premium. For academies, per-pupil funding amounts exclude education services grants and insurance top-up funding.

Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what proportion of children receive free school meals in each (a) free school and (b) local authority area where a free school has been established.
Answered by David Laws
Information on the percentage of pupils known to be eligible for and claiming free school meals was included in the publication ‘Schools, pupils and their characteristics, January 2014'.[1]
Information on the percentage of pupils known to be eligible for and claiming free school meals in individual schools, including free schools, is provided in the publication's underlying data. This includes school type and local authority.
Table 8a in the publication shows the percentage of pupils in state-funded nursery and primary schools known to be eligible and claiming free school meals by each local authority area. Table 8b shows the percentage of pupils in state funded secondary schools known to be eligible and claiming free school meals by each local authority area. Table 3 shows the percentage of pupils known to be eligible for and claiming free school meals in free schools nationally.
