Mr. Tony Banks

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many teachers are currently employed at Stratford grant-maintained school; and what is the proportion of teachers to pupils.

Mr. Eggar

These are matters for the governing body of the school. The information is not held centrally.

Mr. Tony Banks

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science what will be the level of annual maintenance grant for Stratford grant-maintained school for 1991–92; and what will be the cost per pupil at(a) Stratford grant-maintained school, (b) on average for national allocations to grant-maintained schools and (c) on average at non grant-maintained schools.

Mr. Eggar

The level of annual maintenance grant for Stratford grant-maintained school for 1991–92 has not been finalised. The proposed figure, issued to the school and to Newham local education authority for comment, is £1,551,435.

The 1991–92 data on average allocations to grant-maintained schools, and collated data on non grant-maintained schools taken from local education authorities' published local management of schools budget statements, are not yet available.

Mr. Tony Banks

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science what is the total number of pupils at Stratford grant-maintained school now; and what was the figure before grant-maintained status was achieved.

Mr. Eggar

I understand that as of 10 May 1991 the school had 289 pupils on roll. It achieved grant-maintained status when it was incorporated as grant maintained on 1 April 1991. The last annual pupil number count carried out at the school while it was in local education authority control was for January 1991. The LEA reported that the school at that time had 393 pupils on roll.

Mr. Tony Banks

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and. Science what information he has on the projected roll and spread of A-level courses in the sixth form at Stratford grant-maintained school for the next academic year.

Mr. Eggar

These are matters for the governing body of the school. The information is not held centrally.
