Local Government Finance
Mr. Stewart Jackson: To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families with reference to the answer to the hon. Member for Meriden of 22 October 2009, Official Report, column 1645W, on local government finance, what data sets not contained in the national indicator set local authorities are required to submit to his Department. [314953]
Mr. Coaker: Local authorities are required under section 251 of the Apprenticeships, Skills, Children and Learning Act 2009 (formerly section 52 of the Schools Standards and Framework Act 1998) to prepare and submit an education budget statement (containing details of the LAs funding plans for the financial year) before the start of each financial year (i.e. by 31 March). They are also obliged to prepare and submit an education outturn statement (containing details of the actual expenditure and funding of schools and LAs during the financial year) at the end of each financial year.
Details on exactly what data are collected by these exercises can be accessed via the Every Child Matters website:
Pupils: City of York
Hugh Bayley: To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families how much was spent on average per child on (a) primary and (b) secondary school pupils in state schools in the City of York (i) in cash terms and (ii) at constant prices in each year since 1996-97. [322117]
Mr. Coaker: The available information is shown in the following table:
| School based expenditure per pupil in City of York local authority from 1996-97 to 2008-09 | ||||||
| Cash terms expenditure per pupil in C ity of York LA | Cash terms expenditure per pupil in England | |||||
| Primary e ducation | Pre-primary and primary education | Secondary education | Primary e ducation | Pre-primary and primary education | Secondary education | |
| Notes: 1. The financial information used in the answer to this PQ is taken from the Department's s52 data collection. 2. 1999-2000 saw a change in data source when the data collection moved from the R01 form collected by CLG to the Section 52 form from the DCSF. 2002-03 saw a further break in the time series following the introduction of consistent financial reporting (CFR) and the associated restructuring of the outturn tables. The change in sources is shown by blank rows. 3. Pupil numbers include only those pupils attending maintained establishments within each sector and are drawn from the DCSF annual schools census adjusted to be on a financial year basis. 4. Local government reorganisation (LGR) took place during the mid to late 1990's 5. Expenditure was not distinguished between the pre-primary and primary sectors until the inception of Section 52 for financial year 1999-2000. 6. School based expenditure in LA maintained nursery schools was not recorded in 2002-03 and comparable figures are not available for 2003-04 onwards. 7. Figures are rounded to the nearest £10. Cash terms figures as reported by local authorities as at 10 March 2010. | ||||||

[319981]
Mr. Coaker [holding answer 2 March 2010]: The available information is presented in the table and shows the number of trainees at the end of their first year of the Graduate Teacher Programme by age group in 2003/04 and 2007/08.
The Graduate Teacher Programme (GTP) was introduced in 1997/98 as a route for mature trainees
with a lower age limit of 24. The anticipation of age discrimination legislation and a desire to widen access to GTP without threatening postgraduate and undergraduate routes led to the removal of the age restriction. The age limitation did not apply from 2003/04 in anticipation of the introduction of the age discrimination regulations in 2006 (Equal Employment (Age) regulations 2006).

The Graduate Teacher Programme was introduced in 1997/98 but a breakdown by age is not available for this year. 3. Performance Profiles data are collected at the end of a trainees' first year. Data for 2008/09 were collected in autumn 2009 and will be published in July 2010. 4. Numbers have been rounded to the nearest 10. Source: TDA Performance Profiles. | |||||||||
