To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how much public funding was spent per pupil in Oldham West and Royton in each of the last seven years. [170911]

Net current expenditure per pupil
Pre-Primary Education Primary Education Pre-primary and Primary Secondary Education Special
1996–97 n/a n/a 1,890 2,510 11,540
1997–98 n/a n/a 1,910 2,530 12,150
1998–99 n/a n/a 2,080 2,730 14,130
1999–2000 0 2,260 2,300 2,820 16,470
2000–01 0 2,400 2,500 3,050 17,630
2001–02 0 2,690 2,840 3,430 19,210
2002–03 2,940 3,780
Notes:
1 The financial data are taken from Oldham LEA'S Section 52 Outturn Statement submitted to the DfES from 1999–2000 onwards and the ODPM's RO1 statement previously Expenditure was not distinguished between pre-primary and primary sectors until the inception of the Section 52 outturn statement in 1999–2000. 1999–2000 figures reflect the return of GM schools to local authority maintenance.
2 The outturn 2002–03 tables captured the data in a fundamentally different way to the previous years. Categories were aligned with the Consistent Financial Reporting framework and the spending by LEAs was no longer split by school sector. Consequently the unit costs per pupil in 2002–03 are not strictly comparable with earlier years as they include an apportionment of LEA expenditure based on pupil numbers. 2002–03 data is subject to change by the LEA. Figures are rounded to the nearest £10.
3 Net current expenditure (NCE) includes expenditure within schools and also that incurred centrally by the LEA.
4 The NCE per pupil figures for primary and primary relate the net current expenditure (after recharges) in the pre-primary sector and maintained primary schools to the total number of financial year pupils who are educated in the maintained nursery and primary schools sector.
5 The NCE per pupil figures for secondary relate the net current expenditure (after recharges) in maintained secondary schools to the total number of financial year pupils who are educated in the maintained secondary schools sector.
6 The NCE per pupil figures for special schools relate the net current expenditure (after recharges) in maintained special schools to the total number of financial year pupils who are educated in the maintained special schools sector.
7 Pupil data are drawn from the Annual Schools Census adjusted to be on a financial year basis.
