Education Funding

"I was referring to what I have heard in my constituency. That was obviously not specific to the hon. Lady’s case, about which I cannot possibly comment. I am simply saying, given the feedback I have had, that although there are issues of deprivation, there are also parents who are …..."

Education Funding

"It may be a one hit wonder, but it is sung very well by my hon. Friend. As I always say, we also have a strong employment record. When children come out of school, college or university, they have to get jobs. We want them to thrive, and that means …..."

"My hon. Friend makes a very good point, and my experience backs that up. A village can have its own school, but if parents think the school a drive away is better, they will send their children there, because they are exercising choice. Such a choice undoubtedly drives up standards, …..."

Children: Day Care
Wednesday 25th October 2017

Asked by: James Cartlidge (Conservative - South Suffolk)

Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what plans she has to promote graduate recruitment in the early years workforce.

Answered by Robert Goodwill

We are considering a range of approaches to increasing the number of graduates employed in the early years’ sector, and work is still underway. We will engage the sector in exploring ways to target support where it is most needed. We continue to support graduates into the sector through our funding of the Early Years Initial Teacher Training programme, including bursaries and employer incentives.

Further information about Early Years Initial Teacher Training is available at:

Written Question
Schools: South Suffolk
Friday 15th September 2017

Asked by: James Cartlidge (Conservative - South Suffolk)

Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what assessment she has made of the adequacy of funding of (a) secondary and (b) primary schools in South Suffolk, and if she will make a statement.

Answered by Nick Gibb

My Rt hon. Friend, the Secretary of State, announced an additional £1.3 billion for schools and high needs across 2018-19 and 2019-20, in addition to the schools budget set at Spending Review 2015, on 17 July. As a result, core funding for schools will rise from almost £41 billion in 2017-18 to £42.4 billion in 2018-19 and £43.5 billion in 2019-20, representing an increase in the total schools budget of over 6% between this year and 2019-20. This means funding per pupil will now be maintained in real terms for the remaining two years of this Spending Review.

The Secretary of State further set out the details of the new national funding formula for schools, including the funding it will allocate for schools in South Suffolk, on [14] September. They can be found at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/national-funding-formula-tables-for-schools-and-high-needs.
