HC Deb 06 February 2001 vol 362 cc481-4W
Mr. Cotter

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment what the average per pupil standard spending assessment is in(a) primary and (b) secondary schools in (i) England and (ii) north Somerset; and if he will estimate the sums which would be available for education in north Somerset if the average per pupil standard spending assessment for primary and secondary schools in north Somerset were the same as the average for England. [148162]

Ms Estelle Morris

The following table shows the 2001–02 education SSA per primary and secondary pupil for north Somerset and England.

SSA North Somerset England
Primary per pupil 2,341 2,588
Secondary per pupil 3,026 3,313

If north Somerset's SSA per pupil for primary and secondary schools were the same as the national average it is estimated that its 2001–02 education SSA would be £6.3 million higher. Between 1997–98 and 2000–01 funding per pupil in north Somerset has increased by £380 in real terms. In addition to an increase of £3.65 million in education SSA, schools in north Somerset will benefit from an estimated £1.83 million in Direct Grant in 2001–02. The authority will also receive £100,000 as their share of the extra £52 million made available to provide support to help some LEAs manage funding changes in 2001–02. Additionally it is estimated that north Somerset (Weston) Education Action Zone will receive DfEE grants totalling £842,000 in 2001–02 and £692,000 in 2001–02.

Mr. Webb

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment if he will list, for each local education authority the(a) primary education SSA per pupil and (b) secondary education SSA per pupil for 2001–02. [148288]

Ms Estelle Morris

The information requested is contained in the table. In addition to SSAs, authorities and their schools also receive funding through the Standards Fund, Direct Grants, and the recently announced £52 million in additional funding for authorities facing particular pressures—these special and specific grants add £110 at national level to the funding received through SSAs. The overall increase in funding for 2001–02 is over £1.9 billion or 8 per cent. This is equivalent to around £150 per pupil in real terms.
