(2) what the Government grant per pupil in (a) primary and (b) secondary education was (i) in each region in England and (ii) for England as a whole in the last year for which figures are available. [1258]

Jacqui Smith: The following table gives our most recent figures, for local education authorities in England in 2004–05, for the total funding per pupil in cash terms.

Homework

Mr. Gibb: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what guidelines her Department has issued on homework in secondary schools for year (a) seven, (b) eight, (c) nine, (d) 10 and (e) 11. [1241]

Jacqui Smith: My Department issued the publication Homework: Guidelines for Primary and Secondary Schools" in November 1998. This includes a chapter providing specific guidance on homework for secondary school pupils. We do not provide specific guidance for particular year groups.

Individual Learning Accounts

Mr. Drew: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills if she will bring forward proposals to replace individual learning accounts in England; and if she will discuss such proposals with the administration in (a) Scotland and (b) Wales. [1325]

Phil Hope: I refer my hon. Friend to the reply given on 17 March 2005, Official Report, column 450W, given by my hon. Friend and former Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Skills and Vocational Education, (Mr. Ivan Lewis).

Key Stage 2

Mr. Gibb: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills if she will list the primary schools in England where 50 per cent. of pupils achieved Level 5 in reading at the end of Key Stage 2 in 2003–04. [1029]

6 Jun 2005 : Column 342W

Jacqui Smith: The information requested has been placed in the Library.

There were 4,417 maintained primary schools in England where 50 per cent. or more of pupils achieved Level 5 in reading in the 2003–04 Key Stage 2 national curriculum tests.

The school level figures are labelled provisional because they were not checked by schools as part of the 2004 primary school achievement and attainment tables.
