[holding answer 31 October 2005]: Changes to the distribution of the Ethnic Minority Achievement (EMAG) element of the Standards Fund were from introduced from 2004–05 to bring a better targeted, fairer and more sensible distribution to this grant. These changes were endorsed by the DfES ““Aiming High: Raising the Achievement of Minority Ethnic Pupils”” consultation of 2003. Between 2005–06 and 2007–08, EMAG total funding will have increased by almost £10 million. In spite of these increases the reforms to the distribution of EMAG were not possible without losses to some authorities. No authority has been worse off as a result of these changes than 0.05 per cent. of their overall Education Formula Spending Share.The allocations laid out here indicate the DfES contribution to EMAG for Windsor and Maidenhead and Wokingham. Allocations beyond 2007–08 have not been made.

⁽⁵⁹⁾ Provisional DfES contribution.

In 2003–04 to 2005–06 the DfES contribution was matched funded by local authorities at 50 per cent. grant rate.The criteria for the distribution of EMAG are laid out in the Standards Fund Circular each year. For:2003–04 Ethnic Minority Achievement Grant (EMAG)"The criteria for allocations for each authority remained the same as for 2002–03. The 2002–03 grant reflected historic allocations to authorities dating from the evolvement in 1999–2000 of EMAG from the Home Office Section 11. (Section 11 had been based on a bidding process and did not necessarily reflect pupil numbers)."2004–05 Ethnic Minority Achievement Grant (EMAG)"For 2004–05, the national total for EMAG was increased by 4 per cent. For 2004–05 the DfES introduced a phased move towards a new, needs based formula for allocating EMAG. This formula is based on the numbers of pupils from nationally underachieving ethnic groups and the numbers of pupils with a first language other than English, with a weighting for free school meals. Pupils are only counted once in the formula.""For some authorities the formula warranted a reduction in grant. Instead of increasing every authority's allocation by 4 per cent., the DfES froze the allocation at the 2003–04 level for those authorities who would otherwise have lost under the new formula. This was for one year only. Other authorities who were to gain began a move towards their new formula amount. All authorities, except the Isles of Scilly, received a total allocation of at least £35,000, including the local authority contribution. EMAG remained a ring-fenced grant to be spent only on raising the attainment of pupils from minority ethnic groups."2005–06 Ethnic Minority Achievement Grant (EMAG"For 2005–06, the national total for EMAG was increased by 4 per cent. The DfES continued to move towards the new, needs based, formula for allocating EMAG. This was again based on the numbers of pupils from nationally underachieving ethnic groups and the numbers of pupils with a first language other than English with a weighting for free school meals. Once again pupils are only counted once in the formula.""For some authorities this resulted in a reduction in grant. The DfES ensured that the allocation for those LEAs who would otherwise lose under the new formula was not reduced by more than 0.05 per cent. of their overall School Formula Funding Share. Other authorities continued to move towards their new formula amount. EMAG remained ring-fenced to be spent only on raising the attainment of pupils from minority ethnic groups."The list of those authorities that have had reduction of over 30 per cent. and 40 per cent. is as follows. Those that have had a reduction of over 40 per cent. also appear in the over 30 per cent. list.(a) Comparing the DfES contribution of the Ethnic Minority Achievement element (EMAG) of the Standards Fund of 2003–04 with the provisional DfES allocation of 2007–08, the following local authorities¹ have had their DfES contribution to EMAG cut by more than 30 per cent.:"Bedfordshire""Buckinghamshire""Bury""Cambridgeshire""Darlington""Hertfordshire""Kent""Lancashire""Leicestershire""Medway""North Lincolnshire""North Tyneside""Rotherham""South Tyneside""Wakefield""Warrington""Warwickshire""Windsor and Maidenhead""Worcestershire.""1 Excluding the Isles of Scilly."(b) Comparing the DfES contribution of the Ethnic Minority Achievement element (EMAG) of the Standards Fund of 2003–04 with the provisional DfES allocation of 2007–08, the following local authorities¹ have had their DfES contribution to EMAG cut by more than 40 per cent.:"Bedfordshire""Buckinghamshire""Darlington""Hertfordshire""Kent""Lancashire""North Lincolnshire""North Tyneside""Rotherham""South Tyneside""Wakefield""Warwickshire""Windsor and Maidenhead.""¹ Excluding the Isles of Scilly."

Mr. Collins: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what (a) proportion and (b) amount of funding for secondary schools in England comes from the (i) Delegated Budget, (ii) Standards Fund, (iii) School Standards Grant and (iv) post-16 Learning and Skills Council funding streams. [171084] Mr. Miliband: The information requested is contained within the following table: LEAs' planned expenditure for secondary schools in England in 2003-04 _________________________________________________________________________________________________. £ million Percentage of Total Schools Budget Schools Budget 12,112 92.63 of which: (i) Individual Schools Budget 9,985 82.44 (ii) Total Standards Fund 920 7.60 (iii) Schools Standards Grant 314 2.59 £894 million or 7.38 per cent. of the Total Schools Budget is additional expenditure outside of the areas covered by (i), (ii) or (iii) above Memorandum items (already included in totals above): Sixth Form--Allocation from LSC for 16+ 1,303 10.76 funding for secondary schools (included in (i)) Expenditure covered by LSC Grant (included in lines within Total Schools Budget) Sixth form element included in provision for 8 0.07 pupils with statements Sixth form element included in fees for 3 0.03 pupils independent special schools and abroad Sixth form element included in fees to 1 0.01 independent schools for pupils without statements (iv) Total post-16 LSC funding streams 1,315 10.86 _________________________________________________________________________________________________. Notes: 1. The financial data are taken from Local Education Authorities' 2003-04 Section 52 Budget Statement Table 1 submitted to the DfES. Gross figures are provided rather than net as income cannot be split by phase of education. All figures are as recorded in LEAs' Section 52 Budget statements. Figures may not sum due to rounding. 2. In addition to the Total Schools Budget for secondary schools £3,012 million was spent on total LEA central functions and part of this would have been used to support secondary education. 3. Within the schools' budget the amount available for delegation to schools after provision has been made for retained items is known as the Individual Schools Budget (ISB). ISB for secondary schools is £9,985 million of which £1,303 million is supported by the LSC for the funding of education for pupils in Sixth Forms. 4. Total Standards Fund includes: Standards Fund allocation--Revenue (the Standards Fund allocation that the authority expects to devolve to its schools); Standards Fund--Non-Devolved (Standards Fund allocations not yet planned to be devolved to schools or to be spent centrally on items in the schools block; and Specific Formula Grants--Excellence in Cities (expenditure pursuant to a partnership agreement (under the DfES programme known as "Excellence in Cities") made between the authority, the Secretary of State and one or more of the authority's schools. In previous years this was not a separate line item but was recorded under the Devolved Standards Fund). 5. Total post-16 LSC funding streams comprises of the memorandum items of expenditure included within the Total Schools Budget. The allocation from LSC for 16+ funding is included in (i) within the ISB. The sixth form elements of the provision for pupils with statements, the fees to independent schools for pupils without statements and the fees for pupils at independent special schools and abroad is included in other lines within the Total Schools Budget. Consequently the Total Schools Budget for secondary schools comprises of the total of (i) to (iii) plus additional expenditure of £894 million for secondary schools on areas such as SEN, education out of school, school meals, school based strategic management, non-standards fund grants and capital expenditure from revenue.

Mr. Collins: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what grants for primary and secondary schools have been available through the Standards Fund since its creation; and on what date each was (a) introduced and (b) closed. [171085] Mr. Miliband: The following table shows for each Standards Fund grant supporting schools and pupils: the year in which it was introduced into the Standards Fund, and the final year of operation. The table also show where grants have merged, or where the grant has been transferred to another agency. The Standards Fund was created in 1998-99 replacing the previous specific grant programme, Grants for Education Support and Training (GEST). The table also shows which Standards Fund grants continued from the GEST programme. Many of the programmes supported through the Standards Fund are for specific time limited projects and programmes to encourage activities to be continued at local level. The Government are considering further rationalisation of specific grants to provide a single grant for schools, to allow them to access improvement projects and programmes according to their own needs and priorities.
