Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what estimate her Department has made of the cost to schools of translating materials for parents with limited English in the last 12 months.

Each year, schools receive core funding from the department to cover their expenditures, which includes teacher salaries, support staff, school resources and other expenses.

The funding schools receive is not ringfenced for any specific form of expenditure and it is for each school to determine how this money will be best used to support their individual circumstances.

We do not hold any data on the cost of translation materials for parents.
