Primary Education: Ashfield
(asked on 6th March 2017) - View Source
Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what estimate she has made of the (a) gain and (b) loss of funding for each primary school in Ashfield constituency in the first year after implementation of the new national funding formula.
Our proposals for funding reform will mean that schools and local authorities will, for the first time, receive a consistent and fair share of the schools budget.
For Ashfield constituency, the proposals would mean an overall increase in schools funding of 1.2% once the proposed formula is fully implemented.
In the first year of implementation, the distribution of gains and reductions for primary schools in Ashfield would be as follows:
| Number of schools |
2% - 3% increase per pupil | 10 |
1% - 2% increase per pupil | 4 |
0%-1% increase per pupil 2% | 4 |
0% - 1% reduction per pupil | 3 |
1%-1.5% reduction per pupil | 12 |
The consultation is open until 22 March, and we are keen to hear views from as many schools, governors, local authorities and parents as possible.
