Schools: Email

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families how much (a) primary, (b) secondary, (c) special and (d) all schools spent on maintaining email addresses for school staff and pupils in the last 12 months for which figures are available.
Answer

Schools are funded for technology purposes by the Harnessing Technology Grant. Schools are also free to use money from other sources on technological services and infrastructure. However, data on funding of email addresses specifically is not collected, and schools and local authorities are free to decide locally how to apportion the funding across the various types of technology.
