Data on fixed period exclusions and the reason for exclusion relating to the 2003/04 and 2004/05 school years have been derived from Termly Exclusions Survey returns. The scope of this survey did not extend to academies.
The Termly Exclusions Survey has now discontinued and the School Census has started to collect information on fixed period exclusions and reasons for exclusion in addition to the information on permanent exclusions it previously collected. First findings relating to the 2005/06 school year are expected to be available in June 2007.

Jim Knight: Private finance initiative (PFI) contracts are made between local authorities and the private sector partner, following a due procurement procedure which includes consideration of design and value for money. The Department is not a partner to the contracts and is not included in reviews. We are aware of only one schools PFI contract which has been terminated, which was a single school contract for the Frances Bardsley School for Girls in Romford.

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how much money he expects to make available to East Sussex county council between now and 2010 to spend on capital projects relating to
rural primary schools; and how much of that funding will be allocated specifically for the renovation of existing buildings. [134497]
Jim Knight: Planned school capital allocations to East Sussex county council in 2007-08 and to schools in its area amount to £17,526,000. Allocations to local authorities for the financial years 2008-10 will be notified later this year. In addition, for 2007-08, East Sussex has taken advantage of repayable advances of £2,755,000 for maintained schools and £380,000 for voluntary-aided schools.
A long-term primary school programme, worth £500 million in 2009-10, will be rolled out with the aim of improving the condition of primary schools throughout the country. Details of this are being worked on at the present time.
The Department relies on local authorities to prioritise funding between schools and does not allocate funding specifically for rural schools or for renovation.
