Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what assessment her Department has made of the potential impact of inflation on school budgets in this academic year.

Education is a devolved matter, and the response outlines the information for England only.

Every year, the department publishes the ‘Schools’ costs technical note’, which analyses mainstream schools’ funding and costs, taking into account the impact of inflation, for the current and future financial years.
