The aforementioned figures include schools that closed as a result of the amalgamation or merger of two or more schools; schools that have closed but reopened as voluntary schools with a religious character; and schools that have closed in local authorities that have moved from a three-tier to a two-tier system.

School Fires
Sarah Teather:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills (1) how many (a) fatal and (b) non-fatal injuries resulted from school fires in each year of the last 10 years; [79593]
(2) how many fires there were in (a) primary and (b) secondary schools in each (i) region and (ii) local education authority in each of the last 10 years; and how many were started deliberately. [79571]
Jim Knight
[holding answer 22 June 2006]: The Department does not collect these statistics, but does have some figures from the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG). The latest figures we have for England and Wales cover 2000-04.

The available data cannot differentiate between primary and secondary schools, or between the public and independent sectors. For all the years covered, 61 per cent. of the school fires were considered to be the result of deliberate fire setting.
There have been no fatalities due to school fires in the last 10 years, but school fires resulted in 46 non-fatal casualties in 2002 and 40 in 2003the latest figures we have from DCLG. Of the 86 people injured in those two years, 54 were over 18 years old, 29 were aged 11-17, two aged between five and 10, and the age of one casualty is unknown.
Schools Budget
Mr. Gibb:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what the total school budget was of each local authority for 2004-05; and what proportion was delegated to schools in each authority. [80622]
Jim Knight
[holding answer 26 June 2006]: The available information is contained within the following table:
Total schools budget( 1) and total money delegated to schools( 2) by local authority during 2004-05 |
| | Of which: total amount delegated to schools( 2, 3) |
Local authority name | Total schools budget( 1,3 ) (£) | £ | Percentage of total schools budget |
