Matching private school spending
“Our long-term aim should be to ensure for 100 per cent of our children the
educational support now available to just 10 per cent”
Direct payments to schools
• £50,000 for every primary school, and £200,000 for every secondary school.
• Compared with levels this year of £39,000 for primary schools and £150,000 for secondary schools
• “The equivalent of £200 for every pupil paid three months from now direct to the school.”
Not much is new
• Very little of this is new money:
• £120 from announcements/plans before Budget 2006
• Budget 2006 announced £60 per head
• Only £20 per head is new money
• Goes only a very small step towards achieving goal to match private and state per pupil spending
• £20 = 0.4% real increase
• £2,350 = 43% required to meet long-term pledge

Conclusions
• Very little new spending in yesterday’s PBR• Re-announcement of school capital spending
figures• Relatively small additions to non-schools’ capital
spending• New current spending for 2007-08 only amounts
to £20 per head
• Need to wait for CSR settlement for current schools spending to see how quickly pledge could be met
