Clause 101 - Funding of maintained schools
Education Bill [Lords]

Mrs Angela Watkinson (Shadow Minister, Education; Upminster, Conservative)
The method by which funding would be passed directly from Government to individual schools would need certain elements, such as a per-pupil element and elements to reflect local circumstances, such as areas of deprivation, large numbers of children without English as a first language and unusually high numbers of children with special needs. All sorts of elements would have to be taken into consideration, but it would still be possible to fund directly in that way.
