Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how much funding has been made available through the regional academy growth fund in each financial year in which such funding was available.
An investment of over £30 million was made through the Regional Academy Growth Fund (RAGF) in 2016-17. This was the first time the RAGF was delivered.
A full list of academy trusts awarded funding under RAGF during the 2016-2017 financial year was published in September 2017, and can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/regional-academy-growth-fund-award-recipients.
