Education and Skills written question – answered at on 7 March 2006.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills which schools in South Swindon have received grants for improving school food; and how much each received.
Every maintained primary, secondary nursery, special school and pupil referral unit in Swindon local authority received a school meals grant in October 2005. Schools were each awarded a lump sum of £1,070 per primary school and £1,500 per secondary school, with an additional amount per pupil. The per pupil amount for PRUs and all schools except nursery schools is 50p; for nursery schools it is 50p for half of FTE pupils, to reflect the fact that fewer pupils in nursery schools take school meals.
The funding distributed in October 2005 was the first of three years of transitional funding which we have encouraged schools to put towards making sustainable improvements in school food and drink. The allocation formula to schools will remain the same for all three years of the grant.
