HC Deb 26 March 1996 vol 274 cc485-7W
Mr. Don Foster

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment if she will list those schools where part of the annual maintenance grant of a grant-maintained school(a) is being paid and (b) will be paid, from departmental votes rather than solely from recoupment from the local education authority within the area of which the school lies; and if he will indicate the factors underlying this funding.

  • Alder Coppice Primary School, Dudley
  • Appleby Primary School, Cumbria
    • 486
  • The Arnewood School, Hampshire
  • Bourne Abbey Primary School, Lincolnshire

We envisage that an element of the annual maintenance grant paid to the following grant-maintained schools in 1996–97 will not be recouped from the local education authority:

  • Alder Coppice Primary School, Dudley
  • Angley School, Kent
  • Appleby Primary School, Cumbria

  • Bourne Abbey Primary School, Lincolnshire
  • Broomhill Infant School, Sheffield
  • The Burgate School, Hampshire

  • Linton Primary School, Derbyshire
  • Loddon First School, Norfolk
  • The London Oratory School, Hammersmith and Fulham
  • Northwick Park Infant School, Essex
  • Old Leake Primary School, Lincolnshire
  • The Philip Morant School, Essex
  • Robinswood Primary School, Gloucestershire
  • Ringwood Comprehensive School, Hampshire
  • St. Augustine's RC Comprehensive School, Wiltshire
  • St. Peter and St. Paul RC High School, Lincolnshire
    • 487
  • St. Thomas More High School for Boys, Essex
  • Sheringham High School, Norfolk
  • Wardle High School, Rochdale
  • Wold Newton Primary School, Humberside
  • Woodlands Community School, Derbyshire
  • Woodnewton Way Infant School, Northamptonshire

As a general rule, annual maintenace grant is recouped in full from the local education authority. However, we accept that there may be circumstances in which it is not reasonable to recoup the additional costs arising from the establishment of new provision in grant-maintained schools. Each case is considered on its merits.
