The below Parliamentary question was asked by Hugh Bayley on 2014-06-27.

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what the average pay for teachers was in York Unitary Authority area in 2008-09 and in each year since.

Mr David Laws

I refer the hon. Member to the reply given on 10 July 2013, Official Report 297W, which provided the gross average salary of full-time regular qualified teachers in service in local authority maintained schools in cash terms and real terms for York local authority, in each March, 1997 to 2009 and November 2010 to November 2011.

The gross average salary of full-time regular qualified teachers in service in publicly funded schools in cash terms and real terms for York local authority, in November 2012 is £36,300 in both cash and real terms (rounded to the nearest £100). 2013 figures will be available in late July 2014. Publicly-funded schools include both local authority maintained schools and academies. The source of this information is the November 2012 School Workforce Census.

Real terms figures were calculated from HMT GDP deflators, financial year, published on 1 April 2014 at the following web link:

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Hugh Bayley on 2014-06-27.

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how much funding was given to schools in York Unitary Authority area in each year in 2008-09 and in each year since.

Mr David Laws

Total revenue funding allocations to York local authority (LA) covering maintained schools and recoupment academies for financial years 2008 to 2015 are as follows:

These figures are in cash terms and include dedicated schools grant, other schools related grants in 2008-09 to 2010-11, pupil premium, Physical Education & Sport grant and universal infant free schools meals. Most of the additional grants were mainstreamed into the dedicated schools grant in 2011-12.

The table below shows capital funding for the financial years 2008 to 2014. The data is in cash terms.

Notes:

1. Capital allocations includes capital grant and supported borrowing allocations.

2. Figures are rounded to the nearest £100,000.

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Hugh Bayley on 2014-06-27.

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what the pupil-teacher ratio was in (a) primary and (b) secondary schools in York Unitary Authority area in 2008-09 and in each year since.

Mr David Laws

The following table provides the pupil to teacher ratios (PTR) in publicly-funded primary and secondary schools in York local authority, in each January, 2008 to 2010 and November 2010 to 2012, which is the latest information available. 2013 figures will be available in late July 2014.

Figures for November 2010 and later are not comparable to those in January 2010 and earlier due to the change in the data collection to the School Workforce Census .

Source: School Workforce Census and School Census

[1] Up to January 2010 PTRs are calculated by dividing the total full time equivalent (FTE) number of sole registered pupils on roll in schools by the total FTE number of qualified teachers regularly employed in schools. From November 2010 figures are calculated using the FTE number of sole and dual registered pupils on roll.

[2] In the November 2010 the source of the teacher numbers upon which the PTR is calculated was changed to the School Workforce Census. The completeness of the November 2010 teacher numbers for York local authority is in question as teacher numbers fell compared with the previous January 2010 figure based on the School Census and this is reflected in the higher PTR figures for the year. Subsequent teacher numbers reported by the authority in 2012 have seen the numbers return to previous levels.

[3] Excludes one secondary school in York which did not provide a return for inclusion in these figures.

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Hugh Bayley on 2014-06-27.

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many nursery places were available in City of York constituency in 1995-96 and in each year since.

Elizabeth Truss

I have asked Ofsted to respond using the data they hold on registered nursery places. The Ofsted Director for the Early Years, and North-East, Yorkshire and the Humber, Nick Hudson, will write to the Hon. Gentleman, and a copy of his response will be placed in the House Libraries. Some providers such as schools with nursery provision for children aged three or over are exempt from registration. The number of places therefore may not include the full range of early years provision available in the area.

The Department for Education’s Childcare and Early Years Providers Survey[1] collects data on all registered childcare places, including those in maintained schools and nurseries. These figures are therefore more comprehensive than the Ofsted figures; however data is only available at a national and regional level, and in this case only for the North East, Yorkshire and Humberside combined.

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Hugh Bayley on 2014-06-27.

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many and what proportion of people aged (a) 16, (b) 17 and (c) 18 years living in (i) York and (ii) Yorkshire and the Humber were in (A) full-time education and (B) full-time education, employment or training in 2008-09 and in each year since.

Matthew Hancock

Estimates of the proportion of 16- and 17-year-olds participating in education and work-based learning are published in the “Participation in education, training and employment, age 16 to 18” statistical first release (SFR). This provides estimates at local authority level for full-time education, and the wider measure of education and work-based learning, but information on employment is not available at local level. The local estimates are only available for academic age 16- and 17-year-olds.

The SFR is published online here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/participation-in-education-training-and-employment-age-16-to-18
