Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, pursuant to the answer of 23 December 2025 to written question 93136, how much funding has been allocated to the RISE Advisor budget by key expenditure items.

This government is focused on driving high and rising standards through our Plan for Change, to enable every child to achieve and thrive.

Our targeted regional improvement for standards and excellence (RISE) programme is ensuring schools who need it most are getting the support they need to improve.

Over 360 schools have already benefited from RISE, supported by 65 advisers, experienced leaders across the schools sector.

£4.8 million has been allocated to the RISE Adviser budget for the 2025/26 financial year. Budgets for future years will be set through business planning.
