Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what estimate her Department has made of changes in the cash level of per pupil funding for secondary schools in the county of Nottinghamshire in each of the next five years.
Answered by Sam Gyimah
We have announced the per pupil funding rates for 2016-17. Nottinghamshire will receive £4,355 per pupil in 2016-17. We have protected these rates against 2015-16 levels, so that Nottinghamshire will continue to receive the additional £860,000 it received in 2015-16. Whilst the Department sets the level of funding received by each local authority, it is for local authorities, in consultation with their schools forum, to set their own funding formulae to decide how to distribute funding for pupils aged 5 to 16 in their areas, including the funding allocated to secondary schools.
Beyond 2016-17, the Government is committed to delivering our manifesto pledge to make school funding fairer. We intend to introduce a National Funding Formula for schools, high needs and early years. We will set out, and consult on, our detailed plans for a National Funding Formula later in the year.

Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what the average level of funding per pupil has been in secondary schools in Nottinghamshire in each year since 2010.
Answered by Sam Gyimah
Funding from the Department is primarily allocated at a local authority level, in this case the Nottinghamshire local authority. Since the introduction of the dedicated schools grant (DSG) in 2006-07, figures are no longer available to be shown split by phase of education.
Figures for financial years 2010 to 2013 are shown below in cash terms:
Average revenue per pupil funding (£) | 2010-11 | 2011-12 | 2012-13 |
Nottinghamshire LA | 4,810 | 4,750 | 4,750 |
Per pupil figures use DSG allocations plus other schools related grants, e.g. school standards grant, school standards grant (personalisation), standards fund, and pupils aged 3-15, rounded to the nearest £10. Most of the additional grants were mainstreamed into DSG in 2011-12.
The changes to DSG funding in financial year 2013-14 with funding allocated through three blocks, namely schools, early years and high needs, means there is no longer a comparable overall figure with previous years. The table below shows the DSG schools block unit funding figures in cash terms for Nottinghamshire LA.
DSG schools block per pupil funding (£) | 2013-2014 | 2014-2015 | 2015-2016 | 2016-2017 |
Nottinghamshire LA | 4,351 | 4,351 | 4,352 | 4,355 |
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 | 2015-2016 |
Free School Meal Pupil Primary | £488 | £623 | £953 | £1323 | £1320 |
Free School Meal Pupil Secondary | £488 | £623 | £900 | £935 | £935 |
Service Children | £200 | £250 | £300 | £300 | £300 |
Looked After Children | £488 | £623 | £900 | £1900* | £1900* |
*Also includes children adopted from care
Total Pupil Premium allocations for Nottinghamshire local authority and schools in the Newark constituency for each year are shown in the following table in cash terms:
Pupil Premium Allocations (£ millions) | 2011-2012 | 2012-2013 | 2013-2014 | 2014-2015 | 2015-16 (prov.) |
Nottinghamshire LA | 7.380 | 14.710 | 22.903 | 30.420 | 30.163 |
Newark constituency | 0.678 | 1.404 | 2.203 | 2.899 | 2.815 |
Figures for Newark exclude the looked after children element as this is not available at a parliamentary constituency level.

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many secondary school aged pupils living in the Newark area travel out of that area to attend secondary schools in (a) Tuxford, (b) Southwell, (c) Bingham, (d) Nottingham and (e) Lincolnshire.
Answered by Nick Gibb
The Department for Education publishes figures for the number of pupils who attend school in a local authority separate to that in which they reside. This information can be found at GOV.UK[1].
The department does not, however, hold data on the movements of pupils between areas smaller than local authorities.
Movements of pupils are a factor when considering the availability of school places.
[1] https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/schools-pupils-and-their-characteristics-january-2015 - the cross border movement matrix tables have figures for each combination of home and school local authority.
