HC Deb 18 October 1994 vol 248 cc203-4W
Dr. Godman

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will list the current annual budgets of each grant-maintained school; what are the capital and revenue allocations made by him to each grant-maintained school during(a) each of the past three years and (b) so far during the current financial year.

Lord James Douglas-Hamilton

Dornoch Academy, Sutherland, was established on 1 April 1994 as Scotland's first self-governing school. For the financial year to 31 March 1995, it has budgets of £399,181 for recurrent revenue expenditure and £16,000 for capital expenditure. The recurrent expenditure budget amount may be adjusted shortly to reflect the level of comparable expenditure by the Education Department of Highland regional council and any changes in the circumstances of the school which would have an effect on the determination of its annual grant, such as a fluctuation in pupil numbers during the financial year.
