Mr. Love

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how many(a) primary and (b) secondary pupils on average were (i) permanently excluded from school and (ii) unable to access a place in school in each of the last five years in (A) the London borough of Enfield, (B) Inner London and (C) England; and if he will make a statement. [187005]

Mr. Ivan Lewis

Requested information on the number and percentage of excluded pupils is given in the tables.

Mr. Miliband

The information requested is submitted to the Department according to local education authority areas rather than constituency level. The figures provided are for Norfolk LEA and are shown in the following table:

Net current expenditure (after recharges) per pupil
Total
1997–98 2,380
1998–99 2,470
1999–2000 2,570
2000–01 2,850
2001–02 3,180
2002–03 3,400

Notes: 1. Net current expenditure (NCE) includes expenditure within schools and also that incurred centrally by the LEA. This is divided by the number of pupils educated in mainstream schools to calculate a unit cost. 2. Section 52 is collected at local authority level, not constituency level, so the figures provided are for Norfolk LEA. 3. 1999–2000 figures reflect the return of GM schools to local authority maintenance. 4. The outturn 2002–03 tables captured the data in a fundamentally different way to the previous years. Categories were aligned with the Consistent Financial Reporting framework and the spending by LEAs was no longer split by school sector. This change in calculation is identified by the dotted line. The 2002–03 figure is calculated by taking all the LEA expenditure, excluding CERA and Youth and Community, and dividing it by the FTE pupil numbers in maintained pre-primary, primary, secondary and special schools. 5. Data as reported by Norfolk LEA as at 22 July 2004. 6. Figures are reported in Cash Terms and are rounded to the nearest £10. 7. The financial data a#e taken from Norfolk LEAs' Section 52 Outturn Statement submitted to the DfES from 1999–2000 onwards and the ODPM's ROI statement previously. 2002–03 data remains provisional and is subject to change by the LEA. 8. Pupil data are drawn from the Annual Schools Census adjusted to be on a financial year basis.
