Lisa Nandy – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Education
The below Parliamentary question was asked by Lisa Nandy on 2016-09-08.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what the average annual spend per pupil in secondary modern schools was in 2015-16 in (a) England and (b) each region.
Nick Gibb
Schools self-select their own admissions category on Edubase. 120 schools are identified as ‘secondary modern’.
The Department does not yet hold the income and expenditure data from 2015-16. The data will be available for those which are maintained by the local authority in December 2016, and for those which are academies in the summer of 2017.
The overall expenditure per pupil in secondary modern schools by each region for 2014-15 is listed in the following table:

*Note: There are 3 secondary modern schools for which we do not have comparable financial data for them for this period. One of these converted to an academy during 2014-15, and one was reported as part of a federation with another school. The remaining school did not submit data to the Department. The expenditure per pupil takes into account expenditure from all income sources, including self-generated income.
