§ Mr. Damian GreenTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how many Excellence in Cities projects in England opened in each year since 1997, broken down by local education authority. [47746]
§ Mr. TimmsPhase 1 of the Excellence in Cities (EiC) project was launched by my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister and the then Secretary of State in March 1999. Phase 2 was announced in March 2000 together with a primary pilot extending EiC to primary schools in the Phase 1 areas. In October 2000, Phase 3 and new Excellence Clusters, targeting smaller pockets of social deprivation within LEAs not included in the main programme, were announced. The areas covered by EiC partnerships, ie local education authorities working with their schools, are consistent with LEA boundaries. Excellence Clusters, however, are clusters of schools within an LEA boundary.
