Answer

Mrs. Anne Campbell: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills if she will list the Cambridgeshire local education authority spend on education above SSA per pupil for the primary and secondary sectors, and in total, for 1990-91 to 2000-02 and projected for the financial year 2002-03, adjusted for inflation at current values. [29507] Mr. Timms: [holding answer 22 January 2002]: The following table contains the latest available information: Cambridgeshire Real terms figures{ 1} _________________________________________________________________________________________________. 1990-91 1991-92 1992-93 1993-94 1994-95 1995-96 1996-97 1997-98 1998-99 1999-2000 NCE per pupil Pre 1,640 1,790 2,130 2,100 2,190 2,180 2,120 2,030 2,090 2,200 Primary/Prim ary Secondary 2,590 2,670 2,910 2,800 2,850 2,750 2,740 2,700 2,630 2,770 Total 2,030 2,150 2,460 2,390 2,470 2,420 2,380 2,300 2,300 2,430 SSA per pupil Pre 1,790 1,960 2,010 1,970 2,010 1,990 2,030 1,910 2,080 2,190 Pri/Primary Secondary 2,570 2,670 2,700 2,760 2,730 2,640 2,670 2,640 2,640 2,680 Total 2,110 2,250 2,300 2,300 2,310 2,260 2,290 2,200 2,300 2,390 _________________________________________________________________________________________________. {1} All figures are in real terms at 2000-01 prices, and rounded to the nearest £10. Notes: 1. Information for 2000-02 and 2002-03 is not yet available and as a result it is not possible to arrive at a projection. 2. Figures for 1990-91 to 1998-99 include grant maintained schools. Figures for 1999-2000 include ex-GM schools. 3. Expenditure data for 1999-2000 is taken from S52 outturn statements completed by local education authorities and returned to DfES. Data for all previous years is taken from DETR's Revenue Outturn Returns. 4. For the years 1990-91 to 1992-93, Net Current Expenditure after recharges was not recorded in the RO1. Net Recurrent Expenditure is used for these years. Therefore, per pupil figures for these years may not be strictly comparable with the later years. 5. SSA figures implicitly cover funding for Special Schools, and there is no split available for special schools. 6. The NCE figures provided here are for pre primary/primary and secondary only. Hence the two sets of figures are not comparable 7. Pupil numbers used in calculating per pupil figures are financial year averages, based on January Annual School Census returns. 8. Pupil numbers for secondary schools for 1990-91, 1991-92 and 1992-93 include sixth form colleges; these ceased to be classified as schools in April 1993. 9. Cambridgeshire was re-organised in 1998-99.
