This is a matter for the Young People's Learning Agency (YPLA).

Peter Lauener, the chief executive of the YPLA, has written to the hon. Member and a copy of his response has been placed in the House Libraries.

Letter from Peter Lauener, dated 12 March 2012

I am writing with a response to the question you asked the Secretary of State on 8 March 2012 about the amount of local authority central spend equivalent grant (LACSEG) that will be paid in academic year 2011-12 to each Academy which converted to that status between May 2010 and August 2011. A spreadsheet containing the information you have requested has been placed in the Library of the House.

The first schools converted to Academy status on 1 September 2010. Therefore the information provided relates to schools that converted between 1 September 2010 and 1 August 2011. The information is provided in two tabs on the spreadsheet: the first covers Academies converting between September 2010 and March 2011; the second covers those converting between April 2011 and August 2011.

I trust this provides the information you were seeking.
