To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether it is his Department's policy to lift the ban on the establishment of new selective schools.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether it is his Department's policy to lift the ban on the establishment of new selective schools.
The establishment of new selective schools is prohibited by legislation.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether it is his policy to allow existing selective schools to open new sites; and whether the Selective School Expansion Fund can be used to fund school expansion onto new sites.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether it is his policy to allow existing selective schools to open new sites; and whether the Selective School Expansion Fund can be used to fund school expansion onto new sites.
The Department obtains legal advice as appropriate on new policy and its application to individual cases. The Education Act 1996, defines a school as an educational institution which is outside the further education sector and the higher education sector and is an institution for providing primary education, secondary education, or both primary and secondary education. Legislation permits all categories of schools to expand onto additional sites.
The selective schools expansion fund application guidance sets out that bids for expansions onto an additional site are permitted. The guidance highlights that the establishment of new selective schools is unlawful and that the Department must be confident that satellite proposals are genuine expansions and would not constitute new schools. This guidance can be found here: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/779310/Selective_schools_expansion_fund_-_Information_for_applicants.pdf.

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, pursuant to the Answer of 4 September 2018 to Question 168002, to what budget the £5 million fund for transport to selective schools for disadvantaged pupils has been reallocated.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, pursuant to the Answer of 4 September 2018 to Question 168002, to what budget the £5 million fund for transport to selective schools for disadvantaged pupils has been reallocated.
As the Department is not taking forward proposals to open new selective schools, we are not taking forward plans for free transport specifically for children who are eligible for free school meals who attend their nearest selective school. The £5.5 million allocated to this fund was therefore not retained by the Department.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, with reference to Spring Budget 2017, when he plans to set out plans for the £5 million fund for transport to selective schools for disadvantaged pupils.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, with reference to Spring Budget 2017, when he plans to set out plans for the £5 million fund for transport to selective schools for disadvantaged pupils.
The Department is committed to ensuring every child is able to access a good school place, regardless of background. The new Selective Schools Expansion Fund will create more good school places where there is local demand by supporting the expansion of existing good or outstanding selective schools, where they have proposed compelling plans to increase the representation of students from disadvantaged backgrounds in their local areas.
Children will be eligible for free transport to a selective school if they meet the existing eligibility criteria.
The Department is not, however, taking forward proposals to open new selective schools and, not taking forward plans for free transport specifically for children who are eligible for free school meals who attend their nearest selective school.
Where disadvantaged pupils are not eligible for free transport, schools may wish to consider whether it is appropriate to use pupil premium funding to support transport costs for these pupils.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what his policy is on allowing grammar schools to use the Condition Improvement Fund to fund their expansion, and if he will make a statement.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what his policy is on allowing grammar schools to use the Condition Improvement Fund to fund their expansion, and if he will make a statement.
Fully and partially selective schools were not eligible to apply to the Condition Improvement Fund (CIF) in 2018-19 for added places expansion projects, but they were able to apply for condition projects or to address overcrowding. All applications to the CIF are reviewed and prioritised on published criteria based on the needs of the individual school building, regardless of whether they are a selective school or not.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, with reference to item 13 in table 2.1 of the Spring Budget 2017, whether it is still his policy to provide free travel to selective schools at the cost of £5 million per year.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, with reference to item 13 in table 2.1 of the Spring Budget 2017, whether it is still his policy to provide free travel to selective schools at the cost of £5 million per year.
The Department will set out plans for the £5 million fund for transport to selective schools for disadvantaged pupils in due course. The Selective Schools Expansion Fund launched on 11 May and the Memorandum of Understanding agreed with the Grammar School Heads Association, will ensure that selective schools take effective action to improve access to selective schools for disadvantaged pupils.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, with reference to his Department’s news story Drive to create more good school places for families published on 11 May 2018, how many additional school places the Selective Schools Expansion Fund is forecast to create in each of the next four years.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, with reference to his Department’s news story Drive to create more good school places for families published on 11 May 2018, how many additional school places the Selective Schools Expansion Fund is forecast to create in each of the next four years.
The Department announced the £50 million capital funding to support the expansion of selective schools for 2018/19. This is a new fund, so it will not be possible to provide an accurate forecast of the number of additional places to be provided in 2018/19 until the bidding round closes on 19 July 2018, when the Department can analyse the bids received. Broadly, based on the average per-place cost of previous expansions funded via the Condition Improvement Fund, £50 million could fund up to 4,000 places.
The Department will consider the need for further investment in the expansion of selective schools beyond 2018/19 in due course.

The additional £1.3 billion that we are investing in schools across 2018-19 and 2019-20 means that core funding for schools and high needs will rise from almost £41 billion in 2017-18 to £42.4 billion in 2018-19, and £43.5 billion in 2019-20. This overall total of schools and high needs funding will be allocated to local authorities according to the schools and high needs national funding formula respectively. The additional £1.3 billion will be allocated to local authorities as part of, and in the same way as, the rest of the core funding.
We have now announced details of the new national funding formula, meaning that from April 2018 funding will finally be allocated on a fair and transparent basis for schools in England. Full details of schools’ allocations are available at https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/national-funding-formula-tables-for-schools-and-high-needs.
There is no distinction made in the formula between different types of school; selective schools will be allocated funding on the same basis as all other schools.

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, pursuant to the Answer of 27 June 2017 to Question 128, what her policy is on changes to the legal framework on selective schools over the course of this Parliament.
The Queen’s Speech set out the Government’s legislative programme for the next two years. This did not include an education bill, and there will therefore be no changes to the legal framework on selective schools.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, pursuant to the Answer of 27 June 2017 to Question 128, if her Department supports (a) the expansion of existing grammar schools and (b) the opening of satellite sites of existing grammar schools.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, pursuant to the Answer of 27 June 2017 to Question 128, if her Department supports (a) the expansion of existing grammar schools and (b) the opening of satellite sites of existing grammar schools.
The Government has made clear its commitment to continue to support all good and outstanding schools to expand where there is a need for more good school places. Any proposals to expand onto a satellite site would need to demonstrate that they are an expansion of an existing school, and a decision would be made on the circumstances of each case.
