Revenue expenditure figures on the maintenance and improvement of schools are likely to vary from year to year depending on the unique circumstances of a particular LEA. For example, revenue expenditure will increase in years where there have been adverse weather conditions (e.g. repairing storm damage) and is also likely to vary with the number and age of the school buildings within the LEA. Revenue expenditure will also be affected by the amounts of capital allocated to each school.

The available information is contained within the following table:

(7)Denotes the change of source from LEAs education Revenue Outturn Statements submitted to ODPM to Section 52 Outturn Statements in 1999–00, and to the review of Section 52 categories in 2002–03 following the introduction of Consistent Financial Reporting (CFR) to schools.
(8)Figures for 1998–99 to 2001–02 cover the repair and maintenance of buildings, fixed plant and grounds which includes all expenditure on non-capital building works, including repairs and maintenance of buildings, and non-capital expenditure on fixed plant and grounds. Figures for 2002–03 and 2003–04 are the combination of the revenue expenditure on building (including fixed plant) maintenance and improvement and grounds maintenance and improvement categories (CFR categories E12+E13). Any capital expenditure on school buildings is not included in this table.
(9)Figures are provided for the six years to 2003–04, the latest year for which data are available. Data for 1997–98 and earlier are not available for comparable areas due to local government re-organisation. Figures for 2002–03 onwards will not be directly comparable with figures for earlier years as figures for 2002–03 and 2003–04 are not available and have therefore been excluded for these two years. Also, for some LEAs, expenditure that had previously been attributed to the schools sectors was reported within the LEA part of the Section 52 form in 2002–03 and 2003–04 and would therefore be excluded from the totals for
