Answer
The information document on the apprenticeship levy published by the Department for Education shows a sectoral breakdown of levy paying employers based on HM Revenue and Customs administrative data (page 4). The estimated cost for the education sector as a whole is valued at £385m for 2017-18. The document is available on Gov.uk:
It is not possible to produce a robust estimate of the cost of the apprenticeship levy for schools alone using the same data.
