Question to the Department for Education:

To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Agnew of Oulton on 28 March (HL14650), what are the (1) names, (2) related local authorities, (3) phases, and (4) religions, of each expression of interest in the new capital funding scheme for voluntary-aided schools they received.

On 26 March 2019, the department published the list of bids received for the new capital funding scheme for voluntary-aided schools. The link to this list, which is split by school name, local authority, phase and faith ethos or designation, can be found on the GOV.UK website at:

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/voluntary-aided-schools-capital-scheme-applicant-information.

This list can also be found attached.

As registering expressions of interest was not compulsory and not all groups who register their interest go on to submit bids, the department does not publish information about expressions of interest.
