Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how much capital funding for (a) basic needs and (b) school maintenance has been provided from the public purse to Calderdale Council in each year since 2010.
We are investing £23 billion over the Spending Review period to open a further 500 free schools, support the provision of over 600,000 additional school places, rebuild and refurbish over 500 schools and address essential school maintenance needs.
Calderdale received £10.8 million between 2011 and 2016, and allocated a further £15.7 million for 2016 to 2019. Basic need allocations are published here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/basic-need-allocations
In addition, Calderdale has been allocated condition funding of £15.8 million, and a further £3.7 million in Devolved Formula Capital, between 2011 and 2017. This capital funding is targeted at its maintained schools, and does not include capital funding for academies in the area, which is not channelled through the local authority.
