§ Mr. Andrew TurnerTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills if he will list each site for which his Department has considered a city academy, indicating for each(a) the LEA, (b) the names of private sector partners, (c) what dates have been agreed for an opening date, (d) the expected number of pupils, and their age range, (e) the contribution to capital costs from the public purse and (f) the estimated revenue funding per project. [119580]
§ Mr. Miliband[holding answer 16 June 2003]: The table sets out the information available. Academy projects receive modest funding to develop proposals to a point where we are satisfied that the plans are viable and a funding agreement can be signed. From this point, projects receive additional funding to implement their proposals and prepare for opening.
Once open, Academies receive an operational budget to cover their day-to-day running costs, which is comparable to the level of funding for similar maintained schools within their local authority areas. The level of capital funding is intended to ensure that Academies are built and equipped to a standard comparable with the best in the maintained sector.
