PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Schools: Finance (19 April 2016)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what progress her Department is making on ensuring that funding is distributed fairly across schools.

Asked by:
Victoria Atkins (Conservative)

Answer

The fair distribution of funding is a priority for this Government. A National Funding Formula will ensure that every school is allocated funding fairly and transparently according to need. The first stage of a two part consultation closed last week and we are currently considering the responses. It is important that we get such a significant change right and so we will publish our response to the first stage, and second consultation, later this year.
