Educational Institutions: Worcestershire

Answer

Capital maintenance funding for maintained schools is calculated at local authority level, and provided directly to the authority. Schools also receive a small amount of devolved capital funding directly to allow them to pay for minor maintenance and repair works. It is for the local authority to decide on the priorities for their funding, according to local need and the Department for Education does not hold data on how local authority allocations are prioritised.

Allocations to Worcestershire since 2011 have been as follows:

Worcestershire	11-12	12-13	13-14	14-15	Total
Devolved Formula Capital	£2,062,422	£1,684,786	£1,516,962	£1,410,980	£6,675,150
Maintenance	£11,392,278	£8,793,810	£7,096,726	£6,617,555	£33,900,369

Funding for academies is provided separately via the Academies Capital Maintenance Fund (ACMF), a bidding process to which academies apply for specific works. 4 schools in Worcester have received funding under ACMF since 2011:

School Name	Phase	11-12	12-13	13-14	14-15
Bishop Perowne CofE College	Secondary	£0	£158,050	£311,400	£0
Christopher Whitehead Language College	Secondary	£0	£150,297	£0	£396,922
Nunnery Wood High School	Secondary	£0	£2,941,440	£0	£0
Warndon Primary School	Primary	£0	£0	£0	£328,858

A further £11,252,093 has been provided to academies across Worcestershire more widely over the same period. All academies also receive the small devolved allocation, the same as maintained schools.

The following grants have been made to Sixth Form Colleges in Worcester over the same period. Worcester Sixth Form College received funding through a devolved allocation similar to those given to maintained schools and academies, and via the Building Condition Improvement Fund, a bidding process similar to the Academies Capital Maintenance Fund. New College Worcester received a small amount of capital funding support as an independent special provider:

	11-12	12-13	13-14	14-15
Worcester Sixth Form College	£1,069,034	£1,005,972	£1,540,387	£186,065
New College Worcester	£0	£6,465	£169	£4,236
