Estimated total additional funding1 £ per pupil (cash terms) Primary Secondary 1997–98 10 10 1998–99 20 20 1999–2000 50 40 2000–01 150 130 2001–02 240 210 1 Non-SF grants and Standards Fund Notes:
1. All figures rounded to the nearest £10
2. Grant figures are drawn from the relevant parts of the answer to PQ16607.
3. Capital funding is excluded from these figures.
4. Primary and Secondary figures are estimates because a split of grants between sectors is not available: the data are not collected in that way.
5. Figures for 2001–02 include the Teachers Pay Reform Grant, the actual figures for which will not be known for a while, but Threshold costs for each academic year are expected to be in the region of £450 million.
6. Figures for 2001–02 include latest figures for Transitional Funding Grant and Transitional Insurance Grant (both former GM schools). These are subject to change.
7. The pupil numbers used in the calculations are those aged 5–10 (primary) and those aged 11–15 (secondary)—as defined in each year's SSA settlement.
