Ms Atherton

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport what representations she has received regarding the funding of Beacon School, Falmouth under the Space for Sports and Arts in Schools programme. [75291]

Mr. Caborn

The Department for Culture, Media and Sport has received representations on this issue from my hon. Friend, and from representatives of Cornwall County Council, in June and July this year.

The Space for Sport and Arts (SSArts) programme is targeted at Local Education Authorities (LEAs) in areas of social, economic, sporting and cultural deprivation. It is for LEAs participating in the scheme, of which Cornwall County Council is one, to decide which schools in their area to select for involvement in the programme.
