Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how much capital funding has been allocated from the public purse to (a) primary and (b) secondary schools in Coventry local authority area in each of the last six years.
Coventry local authority received core capital allocations from the Department for Education of over £65 million from 2011-12 to 2016-17 financial years.
Seven schools in Coventry have been successful in their applications to the Priority School Building Programme, a £4.4 billion programme which is rebuilding or refurbishing those school buildings in the worst condition across the country.
School Condition and Basic Need allocations are provided at local authority level. It is at the discretion of the local authority how these allocations are distributed to primary and secondary schools in their area.
