School Refurbishment

Mr. Truswell: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how much public funding has been spent on (a) repairing and (b) rebuilding schools in Pudsey in each year since 1992. [18935]

Jacqui Smith: Capital funding is provided to local authorities and schools through formulaic programmes targeted to need. This is available to modernise facilities, provide more places, reorganise schools and improve access for disabled pupils. Devolved formula capital is allocated to all maintained schools in England. This funding enables schools to tackle repairs, maintain buildings and invest in ICT. We do not keep central records on how this money is spent, so it is not possible to distinguish between expenditure on repairs and rebuilding.

Capital allocations are not made direct to Pudsey, but to the City of Leeds local authority and schools in its area. Allocations made since 1996 are shown in the following table.

School Uniforms

Mary Creagh: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what percentage of local education authorities provide financial assistance for the purchase of school uniforms. [17806]

Jacqui Smith [holding answer 14 October 2005]: The Department does not collect this information.

Mary Creagh: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what progress has been made on taking forward the recommendation of the Work and Pensions Select Committee that resources should be earmarked to enable local education authorities to provide school uniform grants. [17807]

Jacqui Smith [holding answer 14 October 2005]: The response to the Work and Pensions Select Committee report stated that this Government do not believe that funding should be earmarked for providing school clothing, because local authorities (LAs) already have discretionary powers to provide school clothing grants. We think that individual LAs are best placed to determine the level of need in their area.

Department for Education and Skills guidance to schools advises that governing bodies should give high priority to cost considerations when they set their school uniform policy, and should keep costs to a minimum by, for example, ensuring that uniform can be purchased from more than one supplier. It also states that no school uniform should be so expensive as to leave pupils or their families feeling socially excluded.

Schools' Capital Funding

Mr. Gibb: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how much capital funding was available to (a) primary and (b) secondary schools in each year from 2001–02. [18937]

Jacqui Smith: Capital funding is provided to local authorities and schools through formulaic programmes targeted to need, so that they can address local priorities. It is the responsibility of local authorities to allocate funds throughout their school estate in a way that promotes fair investment and ensures best value for money. We do not keep central records on how local authorities allocate the funds across their primary and secondary school estates. In addition devolved formula capital is allocated directly to all maintained schools in

18 Oct 2005 : Column 943W

England, to use for their individual priorities. This year, a typical primary school receives £25,000 and a typical secondary school receives over £87,000. By 2007–08, these amounts increase to £34,000 and £113,000 respectively.

The total capital funding available to schools since 2001–02 is shown as follows:

Science Education

Stephen Hammond: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what assessment she has made of the outcome of the pilot project carried out by the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority introducing Twenty-First Century Science and Science for the Citizen; and how much the project cost. [16665]

Jacqui Smith: Early indications from the pilot are that it has had a very positive effect and a new programme of study for science at Key Stage 4 will be introduced in schools in September 2006. It will maintain the breadth, depth and challenge of the current curriculum, while catering for a wide range of students' interests and aptitudes and encouraging more students to study more science. The cost of running the pilot project was £81,340.

Second World War

Mr. Wareing: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills if she will take steps to encourage the teaching of the history of the Second World War in schools in England; and if she will make a statement. [17527]

18 Oct 2005 : Column 944W

Jacqui Smith: The Second World and the Holocaust are both statutory elements of the Key Stage 3 (11 to 14-year-olds) history curriculum. In addition at Key Stage 2 (7 to 11-year-olds), pupils have the option to study Britain since 1930, specifically the impact of the Second World War. Modern European and world history, including the study of the Second World War, is a popular choice at GCSE and A Level.

Over the last 18 months the Department has worked with the Ministry of Defence to ensure that key messages surrounding the 60th anniversary commemorations of the end of the Second World War were delivered to schools and to ensure that schools and young people were included as part of the planning and organisation for events.

The Department also assisted in the development of the 'Their Past, Your Future' programme managed by the Imperial War Museum and funded by the Big Lottery Fund. That programme has provided opportunities for schools to visit Second World War sites with veterans and create school resources.

SEN

Lynne Jones: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what percentage of pupils with special educational needs (a) with statements and (b) without statements were taught in each category of school, including faith schools, in each of the last five years. [16859]

Jacqui Smith: Tables 1a and 1b show the number of pupils with special educational needs (SEN) with statements and SEN pupils without statements for each school category.

Tables 2a and 2b show the number of pupils with special educational needs (SEN) with statements and SEN pupils without statements for maintained primary and secondary schools broken down by religious character. This information is not available for other school types.
