Helen Jones: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how much revenue funding was spent per pupil in Warrington in (a) 1997 and (b) the last year for which figures are available. [214969] Derek Twigg: The information requested is contained within the following table: £ _________________________________________________________________________________________________. Combined LEA and school based expenditure 1,2 per pupil3--Cash terms LEA name4 Combined LEA and school based expenditure per pupil 1997-985 Pre-LGR Cheshire 2,560 2003-04 Warrington 3,450 _________________________________________________________________________________________________. 1 The combined LEA and school based expenditure includes all expenditure on the education of children in LEA maintained establishments and pupils educated by the LEA other than in maintained establishments. This includes both school based expenditure and all elements of central LEA expend tire except youth and community and capital expenditure from revenue (CERA). 2 1997-96 financial data are taken from (pre local government reorganisation) Cheshire LEA's Revenue Outturn spending return submitted to the ODPM. 2003-04 financial data are taken from Warrington LEA's Section 52 Outturn Statement (Table A) submitted to the Department for Education and Skills. 2003-04 is as reported by the LEA and is subject to change 3 Pupil figures include all pre-primary pupils, including those under 5s funded by the LEA and being educated in private settings, pupils educated in maintained mainstream schools and other LEA maintained pupils. The pupil data for pupils attending maintained nursery, primary, secondary and special schools are taken from the DfES Annual Schools Census. Private voluntary and independent (PVI) under 5 pupil numbers are taken from the Early Years census but are only included in the 2003-04 pupil count. Other LEA maintained pupils includes al pupils attending schools not maintained by the Authority for whom the Authority is paying full tuition fees, or educated otherwise than in schools and pupil referral units under arrangements made by the Authority drawn from the Form 8b submitted to the DfES. Also inducted as other LEA maintained pupils are all pupils attending pupil referral units who are not registered at a maintained mainstream school drawn from the DfES Annual Schools Census. All pupil numbers are adjusted to be on a financial year basis. 4 Local government reorganisation (LGR) took place on the 1 April 1998 where pre-LGR Cheshire LEA was split into Cheshire LEA Halton LEA and Warrington LEA. As a result, the 1997-98 data is for pre-LGR Cheshire LEA and the 2003-04 data is for Warrington LEA These two sets of figures are not comparable as Halton and Cheshire LEAs have higher unit cost than Warrington LEA which has the effect of inflating the 1997-98 unit cost. In 1998-99 (the first year a breakdown is available) the unit cost was £2,700 in Cheshire, £2,730 in Halton and £2,310 in Warrington. 5 Spending in 1997-96 reflects the transfer of monies from local government to central Government for the nursery vouchers scheme. These were returned to local government from 1998-99. Note: Figures are rounded to the nearest £10 as reported by the LEA at 7 February 2005.
