Pupils: Finance

Mr. Laws
To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families what share each local authority will receive of the additional money for deprived pupils who attend schools in less deprived local authorities in each year from 2007-08 to 2011-12; how this money will be targeted on pupils with high assessed needs; and if he will make a statement.

Jim Knight
The following table sets out allocations of the £40.9 million of funding within dedicated schools grant (DSG) to support children from deprived backgrounds who attend schools in less deprived local authorities. The amounts are increases in funding for 2008-09, and will become part of each qualifying authority's DSG baseline for 2009-10 and 2010-11. No funding was allocated for 2007-08; funding for 2011-12 will be allocated under the next spending review. Decisions on the targeting of this funding will be taken by local authorities in consultation with their schools forums, but our strong expectation is that it will be directed to those schools with the most disadvantaged pupil intakes.
