Schools: Shropshire
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, if the additional £3.7 million allocated to Shropshire schools was previously allocated to another area of her Department's spending.
- Answer
-
We have an announced an additional £1.3bn investment in core schools funding across 2018-19 and 2019-20, including an additional £3.7m for schools in Shropshire.
This additional £1.3bn investment will be funded in full from efficiencies and savings from within the Department's budget. We believe it is right to prioritise core schools funding, even as we continue the vital task of repairing the public finances. Making savings and efficiencies allows us to maximise the funding which is allocated directly to schools, which can ensure that it is spent where it will have the greatest impact. It will not be possible to attribute funding increases in specific areas to particular savings and efficiencies.
