To ask the Secretary of State for Education, with reference to his Department’s news story Drive to create more good school places for families published on 11 May 2018, how capital funding is planned to be made available to help create new voluntary-aided schools in each of the five fiscals years from and including 2018-19.

Funding for the capital scheme to help create new voluntary-aided schools will be from within the Department for Education’s existing budget for new schools. As set out in the government’s response to the ‘Schools that work for everyone’ consultation, and in line with our existing approach to voluntary-aided schools, proposers will be required to contribute 10% of the capital costs of a new voluntary-aided school. We will be developing the detail of the scheme, including the funding arrangements, in the coming months.
