Department for Education written question – answered at on 2 February 2015.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether the increase in the schools budget from £35 billion to £39 billion announced in the Spending Review 2010 included Early Years Entitlement funding under the Dedicated Schools Grant.
The real terms increase in the schools budget set out at Spending Review 2010 did not include early education funding. However, funding for early education has increased by over £1 billion from 2010-11 to 2014-15, following the continued entitlement to 15 hours of free early education per week for all three and four-year-olds and the roll-out of the new entitlement for disadvantaged two-year-olds.
