Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what the average cost per hour of childcare was (a) in a nursery and (b) with a child minder in (i) York Central constituency, (ii) City of York local authority area and (iii) England in 2010 and each subsequent year.
Answered by Sam Gyimah
The Department for Education does not record childcare costs for parents at constituency or local authority level. Furthermore, the Department does not record day care or child minder costs on an annual basis.
The Department’s Childcare and Early Years Providers survey (2010) indicated that the average hourly fee charged by full day care providers for three-year-olds was £3.60. The same survey conducted in 2013 indicated a figure of £3.90 for three and four-year-olds. The average hourly child minder fee for children of any age was £3.80 in 2010 and £4.10 in 2013.

Notes 3. Figures are rounded to the nearest £100,000. 4. Capital allocations are made to York Unitary Authority for local authority maintained schools. | ||
The capital figures provided show the capital funding allocated to York City Council and its schools through all of the Department for Education’s capital programmes over the period requested. These figures include the formulaic capital allocations such as those for Basic Need and Capital Maintenance, and those for more targeted programmes such as the Primary Capital Programme and Building Schools for the Future.
Since the formation of the Education Funding Agency in April 2012 major efficiency savings have been made in the cost of building new schools. We have seen the cost of new schools cut by about 35% compared to schools procured under the Building Schools for the Future programme.

Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how much (a) revenue and (b) capital funding was provided to each pupil in state (i) primary and (ii) secondary schools in (A) York local authority and (B) Yorkshire and the Humber in (1) cash terms and (2) at 2014 prices in 1995-96 and in each year since.
Answered by David Laws
As York only became a local authority in 1996-97 as a result of local government reorganisation, comparable funding data is only available from this date.
Average per pupil revenue funding figures, from the Department for Education to local authorities, for pupils aged 3-10 (primary) and 11-15 (secondary) for York specifically, and the Yorkshire and Humber region on average, for years 1997-98 to 2005-06 are as follows. These figures are in cash terms:
Average Per Pupil Revenue Funding (cash) | 1997- 98 | 1998-99 | 1999-00 | 2000-01 | 2001-02 | 2002-03 | 2003-04 | 2004-05 | 2005-06 |

These figures are in real terms using March 2014 GDP deflators in 2012-13 prices:

Per pupil are figures using standard spending assessment (SSA)/education formula share (EFS) allocations and pupils aged 3-15.
With the introduction of the dedicated schools grant (DSG) in 2006-07, the changes to the funding mechanism meant figures were no longer comparable with previous years.
The 1997-98 to 2005-06 figures are based on EFS which formed the education part of the local government finance settlement, plus various grants. This was an assessment of what local authorities needed to fund education rather than what they spent. The DSG is based largely on a local authority's previous spending. In addition, the DSG has a different coverage to EFS. EFS comprised a schools block and a local education authority (LEA) block (to cover LEA central functions) whereas DSG only covers the EFS school block. LEA block items are still funded through DCLG's local government finance settlement but education items cannot be separately identified. Consequently, there is a break in the Department's time series as the two sets of data are not comparable.
To provide a comparison for 2006-07 DSG, the Department has isolated the EFS school block equivalent funding in 2005-06; as described above this does not represent the totality of ‘education' funding in that year.
Figures for financial years 2005 to 2013 are shown below. These are in cash terms:
Average revenue per pupil funding (cash) | 2005-06 | 2006-07 | 2007-08 | 2008-09 | 2009-10 | 2010-11 | 2011-12 | 2012-13 |
York LA | 3680 | 3860 | 4120 | 4340 | 4530 | 4740 | 4660 | 4660 |
Yorkshire & Humber | 3890 | 4120 | 4410 | 4610 | 4810 | 5050 | 4960 | 4960 |
These are in real terms using June 2014 GDP deflators in 2013-14 prices:
Average revenue per pupil funding (cash) | 2005-06 | 2006-07 | 2007-08 | 2008-09 | 2009-10 | 2010-11 | 2011-12 | 2012-13 |

Yorkshire & Humber | 4,670 | 4,820 | 5,020 | 5,110 | 5,190 | 5,310 | 5100 | 5040 |
Per pupil figures are using DSG allocations plus other schools related grants, e.g. school standards grant, school standards grant (personalisation), standards fund etc. and pupils aged 3-15 rounded to the nearest £10. Most of the additional grants were mainstreamed into DSG in 2011-12.
These figures do not include pupil premium funding given to schools.
With the changes to DSG funding in financial year 2013 to 2014, i.e. funding allocated through three blocks, namely schools, early years and high needs, there is no longer a comparable overall figure with previous years. The table below shows the DSG schools block unit funding figures in cash and real terms for York LA.
DSG schools block per pupil funding | 2013-2014 | 2014-2015 |
York LA (cash) | 4,209 | 4,209 |
York LA (real)* | 4,209 | 4,118 |
Yorkshire & Humber average (cash) | 4,534 | 4,534 |
Yorkshire & Humber average (real)* | 4,534 | 4,436 |
*Real terms figures shown in 2013-14 prices using GDP deflators at 27.06.14
These figures do not include pupil premium funding given to schools.
Since 2011-12 schools have received the Pupil Premium which targets funding at pupils from the most deprived backgrounds to help them achieve their full potential. In 2011-12, the Premium was allocated for each pupil known to be eligible for Free School Meals, looked after children and children of parents in the armed services. In 2012-13 coverage was expanded to include pupils known to have been eligible for Free School Meals at any point in the last six years. The amounts per pupil amounts for each type of pupil are shown in following table in cash terms:
Pupil Premium per pupil (£) | 2011-2012 | 2012-2013 | 2013-2014 | 2014-2015 |
Free School Meal Pupil Primary | 488 | 623 | 953 | 1300 |

[2] In the November 2010 the source of the teacher numbers upon which the PTR is calculated was changed to the School Workforce Census. The completeness of the November 2010 teacher numbers for York local authority is in question as teacher numbers fell compared with the previous January 2010 figure based on the School Census and this is reflected in the higher PTR figures for the year.
