The latest figures on early education places for three and four-year-olds in England were published in Statistical First Release 19/2007 Provision for children under five years of age in EnglandJanuary 2007 in May, which is available on my Departments website
Hugh Robertson: To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families how many hours of physical education training the Youth Sport Trust recommends during initial teacher training to meet the Government's school sport public service agreement target. [189591]
Jim Knight [holding answer 26 February 2008]: I am not aware of any recommendation the Youth Sport Trust has made about primary initial teacher training. In any event, neither this Department nor the Training and Development Agency for Schools prescribe the content for courses of initial teacher training or the time that should be spent on particular components of it. Training providers have discretion over this, but the outcome of their course must be that trainees are, on completion, able to demonstrate the various standards the Secretary of State has set out for awarding of Qualified Teacher Status.
David Davis: To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families (1) how much has been allocated per pupil for the 2008-09 school year, broken down by county; [189455]
(2) what the average funding per pupil is in England for the 2008-09 school year. [189458]
Jim Knight:
The Dedicated Schools Grant guaranteed per pupil units of funding for 2008-09 are provided in the following tables for local authorities grouped by type: London, metropolitan, unitary and upper tier. Guaranteed units of funding are not calculated at a county level. The average figure for England is £4,066
per pupil. This covers all funded pupils aged three to 15. Figures are in cash terms. In addition to the Dedicated Schools Grant there are other grants that support the schools budget whose allocations have not yet been finalised.
