Pupils: Per Capita Costs David Davis To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families (1) how much has been allocated per pupil for the 2008-09 school year, broken down by county; (2) what the average funding per pupil is in England for the 2008-09 school year. Jim Knight The Dedicated Schools Grant guaranteed per pupil units of funding for 2008-09 are provided in the following tables for local authorities grouped by type: London, metropolitan, unitary and upper tier. Guaranteed units of funding are not calculated at a county level. The average figure for England is £4,066 per pupil. This covers all funded pupils aged three to 15. Figures are in cash terms. In addition to the Dedicated Schools Grant there are other grants that support the schools budget whose allocations have not yet been finalised.
