§ Mr. Ivan HendersonTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how much additional funding has been given to(a) primary schools and (b) secondary schools in the Harwich constituency in addition to their SSA, since 1997. [107689]
§ Mr. MilibandIt is not possible to identify precisely how much additional funding has been given to Harwich schools since 1997. The following table shows how much recurrent and capital funding was allocated to Essex primary and secondary schools between 1998–99 and 2002–03, the years for which data are available on a like-for-like basis. The Department allocates capital funding for schools at local education authority level (LEA) level, without specifying separate amounts for primary and secondary schools.
This is equivalent in 2002–03 to an average of £82,377 revenue for a primary school and £306,329 revenue for a secondary school, but funding for individual schools depends on decisions taken by the local education authority.

1. Net Current Expenditure (NCE) includes expenditure within schools and also that incurred centrally by LEAs.
2. Real Terms figures are adjusted to 2001–02 prices using the March 2003 GDP deflators.
3. Pre-primary, primary and secondary column contains the per pupil costs across all three phases of education. The figure is not a 'sum' but a weighted average of the previous two columns figures.
4. Figures rounded to the nearest 10.
5. 'SEN Schools' expenditure not included because it distorts the unit costs and can make meaningful comparison difficult.
6. Financial data are drawn from the RO1 forms up to 1998–99 and from the DfES Section 52 outturn statements from 1999–2000.
7. Pupil data are drawn from the Annual Schools Census adjusted to be on a financial year basis.
