Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what the reduction in General Annual Grant for (a) secondary and (b) primary schools in Nottinghamshire is from academic year 2015-16 to academic year 2016-17.
Maintained schools and academies are paid by reference to different financial years, which are not contiguous with academic years for maintained schools. Consequently funding figures for the academic year 2016/17 are not published. The table below shows that funding increased for Nottinghamshire primary schools and academies by £7.03m, and for secondary schools and academies by £0.62m between financial years 2015-16 and 2016-17.
| 2015-16 FY (£) | 2016-17 FY (£) | YoY Change (£) |
a) Secondary | 185,506,841 | 186,130,700 | 623,859 |
b) Primary | 240,790,943 | 247,822,567 | 7,031,624 |
Note: There is also a single ‘All Through’ provider that is not included in these figures.
