Schools: Finance

Volume 467: debated on Thursday 15 November 2007

To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families what the area cost adjustment factor is for schools in each local authority in England; what (a) assumptions and (b) data were used to determine these figures; and if he will make a statement. (163822)

Under the spend plus methodology for distribution of Dedicated Schools Grant, there is no single set of area cost adjustment factors for schools by local authority in England. The level of Dedicated Schools Grant per pupil for each local authority will depend on the level of their spending on schools in 2005-06, which was closely related to the formula for Schools Formula Spending Share (FSS) for that year. The Schools FSS formula contained the area cost adjustment factors set out as follows in column 1. We have in 2006-07 and 2007-08 distributed funding for a number of ministerial priorities including the greater personalisation of learning, more practical learning options for 14-16 pupils, work force reform and the increased entitlement to early years provision from 33 to 38 weeks, all of which used the ACA factors set out below in column 2. Funding for the ministerial priorities in the school funding settlement for 2008-09 to 2010-11, which I announced to the House on 12 November also used the ACA factors in column 2.

The main influences on the differences between authorities are relative deprivation; area costs; and the authority's historic spending above or below its assessment.
