§ Mr. BercowTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how many children in Buckingham have benefited from the Excellence in Cities Programme; and what the per pupil spending was in each year since the programme's inception. [161584]
§ Mr. MilibandNo schools in Buckingham itself are in the Excellence in Cities programme as the authority does not meet the inclusion criteria. However, there is an Excellence Cluster in High Wycombe which serves a small pocket of deprivation within the authority. This has been in operation since September 2002.
The average spend per pupil in the High Wycombe cluster was £62.50 in 2002–03 and £106 in 2003–04.
