GCSE: Gifted Children
Michael Gove: To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families how many and what proportion of pupils with gifted and talented status achieved (a) three As at A-level, (b) five GCSEs including English and mathematics at grades A* to C excluding equivalents and (c) at least one GCSE pass at grade C or above, excluding equivalents in (i) 1997, (ii) 2003, (iii) 2006 and (iv) the most recent year for which figures are available. [316855]
Mr. Coaker: The information requested for the academic years 2005/06 and 2008/09 is in the following tables. Data on gifted and talented pupils were not collected before the 2005/06 academic year.
Home Education: Gloucestershire
Mr. Drew: To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families what recent estimate he has made of the number of home educators in (a) Gloucestershire and (b) Stroud constituency; and what estimate he has made of the cost to his Department of their regulation should the recommendation of the Badman review of secondary education be accepted. [312747]
Ms Diana R. Johnson: Gloucestershire local authority (LA) provided us with information about the number of children in its area, which includes Stroud, who were known by the LA to be home-educated in May 2009 (254) and again in September 2009 (224). This data has been used to inform Graham Badman's Review of "Elective Home Education England". We have not collected data below local authority level.
There may be other home-educated children in the Gloucestershire LA area of which the local authority is not aware because there is no current requirement for local authorities to keep a register of home-educated children.
We estimate that the cost of the registration and monitoring proposals for home-educated children will be around £26.3 million in the first year and £14.6 million in subsequent years, based on 20,000 home-educated children. We do not have figures available yet for allocations below national level. We will develop detailed funding methodologies for local authority allocations after discussion with the Local Government Association and local authorities.
National Curriculum Tests
Mrs. Maria Miller: To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families how many and what proportion of children achieved at least level 2b in each subject at Key Stage 1 in each year since such assessments were introduced. [317740]
Mr. Coaker [holding answer 22 February 2010]: The information has been placed in the Libraries of the House.
Pupils: Per Capita Costs
Lynne Featherstone: To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families how much (a) primary and (b) secondary schools in each London borough have received in funding per student in each of the last five years; and if he will make a statement. [319063]
Mr. Coaker: Per pupil revenue funding figures for primary school pupils (ages three to 10) for each London borough between 2004-05 and 2005-06 are shown in Table 1. These figures are in real terms and are based on financial years.

| 2004-05 | 2005-06 | |
| Notes: 1. Price Base: Real terms at 2008-09 prices, based on GDP deflators as at 9 December 2009. 2. Figures reflect relevant sub-blocks of Standard Spending Assessment/Education Formula Spending (EFS) settlements and exclude the pensions transfer to EFS. 3. Total funding also includes all revenue grants in DFES Departmental Expenditure Limits relevant to pupils aged three to 10 and exclude Education Maintenance Allowances (EMAs) and grants not allocated at LEA level. For those authorities in receipt of advance of grant under the transitional support arrangements for 2004-05, advance grant funding is included in the year of payment (2004-05). There will be a consequential reduction in DFES grant for these LEAs in future years (either 2006-07 and 2007-08 or 2006-07 to 2008-09, depending on the terms on which the advance was given to the LEA). 4. The pupil numbers used to convert £ million figures to £ per pupil are those underlying the EFS settlement calculations. 5. Rounding: Figures are rounded to the nearest £10. 6. Status: Some of the grant allocations have not been finalised. If these do change, the effect on the funding figures is expected to be minimal. | ||
