Excellence in Cities Programme
Mr. Andy Reed:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how much was allocated to Loughborough constituency through the Excellence in Cities programme in the last year for which figures are available. [105832]
Jim Knight:
Criteria for inclusion in the Excellence in Cities Programme were revised at the time of the
4 Dec 2006 : Column 116W
“Primary Expansion” in September 2004. Funding was allocated to LAs based on the number of their primary schools with more than 35 per cent. FSM. Cobden primary school, Loughborough was identified as being above 35 per cent. FSM and Leicestershire local authority were, therefore, allocated a total of £31,165 for the financial year 2005-06.
The final decisions on delegations to schools were made by LAs to ensure that local knowledge informed resource allocation. This means that EiC funding could have been shared with other schools, in order to achieve its maximum impact.
In April 2006 EiC ceased to be a discreet, funded programme, but all previous EiC funding continues to be paid through local authorities as part of the School Development Grant (SDG).
Faith Schools
Colin Challen:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how many (a) faith primary schools, broken down by faith and (b) non-faith primary schools there are in each local education authority area. [106011]
Jim Knight:
The information requested was published in SFR 38/2006 “Schools and Pupils in England: January 2006 (Final)”. The relevant table is shown as follows:
| Table 27: Maintained primary schools( 1) : Number of schools by religious character, January 2006, by local authority area and Government office region in England |
| | | Primary Schools |
| | | No religious character | Church of England | Roman Catholic | Methodist | Other Christian Faith( 2) |
