Michael Gove: To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families how many pupils were given more than one fixed period exclusion in a 12 month period in each of the last five years; and how many such pupils were eligible for free school meals. [226445]
Jim Knight: Information on the number of pupils who were given more than one fixed period exclusion and their eligibility for free school meals can be provided only at disproportionate cost. The available information on the number of fixed period exclusions (including any multiple exclusions) and free school meal eligibility is shown in the following tables and covers the school years 2005-06 and 2006-07. Information for 2004-05 can be provided only at disproportionate cost.

| (1) Includes middle schools as deemed. (2) Includes both CTCs and academies. Information is as reported by schools. (3) The number of exclusions per 100 of the school population (excluding dually registered pupils) as at January 2006. (4) For 2005-06 a change in the underlying method of data collection means that data on fixed period exclusions from primary and special schools is not available. (5) Totals include 4,600 fixed period exclusions with unclassified free school meal eligibility. Note: Totals may not appear to equal the sum of component parts because numbers have been rounded to the nearest 10. | ||

Pupils: Exclusions
Michael Gove: To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families (1) which 20 maintained schools had the greatest (a) number and (b) proportion of pupils (i) excluded and (ii) permanently excluded for (A) physical assault against an adult, (B) physical assault against a pupil and (C) bullying in the most recent year for which figures are available; [226036]
(2) which 20 maintained schools issued the (a) highest and (b) lowest number of (i) permanent and (ii) fixed-term exclusions in the most recent academic year for which figures are available; and how many such exclusions were issued by each such school. [226035]
Jim Knight: The information could be provided only at disproportionate costs.
Pupils: Per Capita Costs
Mr. Laws: To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families what estimate he has made of school funding per pupil for each primary and secondary school in Yeovil constituency in (a) 2007-08 and (b) 2008-09; what the average funding level for all English schools is for each of those years; and if he will make a statement. [227032]
Jim Knight: The Department allocates education funding to local authorities so the requested information for Yeovil constituency is not available.
The per pupil revenue funding figures for years 2007-08 to 2008-09 for Somerset local authority and England are provided in the following table. Since 2006-07, the Dedicated Schools Grant (DSG) is the main source of school funding. As the DSG is distributed through a single guaranteed unit of funding per pupil, a primary/secondary split is not available.
| 2007-08 DSG plus grants | 2008-09 DSG plus grant s | |
| Notes: 1. This covers funding through the Dedicated Schools Grant, School Standards Grant, School Standards Grant (Personalisation) and Standards Fund as well as funding from the Learning and Skills Council; it excludes grants which are not allocated at LA level. 2. These figures are for all funded pupils aged three to 19. 3. Figures have been rounded to the nearest £10. Price Base: Cash. 4. Some of the grant allocations have not been finalised. If these do change, the effect on the funding figures is expected to be minimal. 5. The actual revenue funding that individual schools in England receive via their school budget shares is a matter for individual local authorities to decide locally through their own local funding formulae (subject to satisfying the minimum funding guarantee for schools from 2004-05 onwards). Consequently, the amount of money allocated to each school in England depends very much on the individual local authorities’ own policy for funding their schools. Different authorities retain varying amounts of funding centrally to spend on behalf of their schools while others chose to give schools more autonomy over how they spend their money by devolving more funding to the individual schools. | ||
