HC Deb 27 June 1990 vol 175 cc214-5W
Mr. Paice

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will list all schools which had achieved grant-maintained status by 1 April 1990 showing for each(a) the total amount of public funding in 1990–91 with all allocations under different heads, (b) the number of pupils, the age range and the number of pupils in each year group and (c) the total funding for each school under its last year of local education authority funding.

Mrs. Rumbold

The table below shows the full-year equivalent amounts of annual maintenance grant—AMG—received by the first 20 grant-maintained schools last year. Provisional figures for 1990–91 have been set at a standard notional 6 per cent. above these amounts. Calculations of final AMG figures for 1990–91 are now being finalised as the Department receives information from relevant local education authorities about their spending plans for the year.

The 1989–90 figures below do, in turn, reflect a 6.6 per cent. increase over what we estimate to have been LEA direct spending levels on these schools in 1988–89. In addition to AMG, schools receive small special purpose grants, for example to mirror what is available to LEAs under the Government's education support grant scheme.
