This covers funding through the Dedicated Schools Grant, School Standards Grant, School Standards Grant (Personalisation) and Standards Fund as well as funding from the Learning and Skills Council; it excludes grants which are not allocated at LA level. 2. Price Base: Cash 3. These figures are for all funded pupils aged 3-19. 4. Figures have been rounded to the nearest £10. 5. Some of the grant allocations have not been finalised. If these do change, the effect on the funding figures is expected to be minimal. Capital Figures 1. These figures are provided on an allocations basis. They include devolved, targeted and strategic programmes, funded by grant, supported borrowing and PFI. 2. Where figures for some authorities appear particularly large, this will normally reflect a Building Schools for the Future allocation where expenditure will take place over a number of succeeding years. Schools: Asbestos Mr. Dai Davies: To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families how many schools have been found to contain hazardous asbestos in the last 12 months; in how many of those schools all asbestos has been removed; at what cost; and what assessment has been made of the health of (a) teachers and (b) pupils attending schools where asbestos has been found. [291622] Mr. Coaker: During any major refurbishment project, the Department expects those responsible, to remove hazardous asbestos and asbestos likely to be disturbed. Outside major projects, periodic asbestos surveys identify Asbestos Containing Materials that are likely to deteriorate and we expect them to be removed or encapsulated. There is no requirement for routine reports of the condition of asbestos containing materials; for each public building there is an individual with specific statutory duties related to asbestos but routine reporting is not one of those duties. So, data is not available on the number of schools found to contain hazardous asbestos in the last 12 months. Earlier this year, the Prime Minister gave a commitment to find out more about local authority management of asbestos. In September 2008 DCSF and HSE sought to determine, by questionnaire, how asbestos is being managed in system-built schools. Initial evaluation of the responses is complete. It has highlighted the need for further investigation and follow-up action. Health and Safety Executive (HSE) officials will discuss with the Department in November how to take this forward. Schools: Buildings Annette Brooke: To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families if he will review the adequacy of the provisions of the Education (School Premises) Regulations 1999, with particular reference to statutory provision for (a) water and (b) toilets. [295469] Mr. Coaker: The officials and colleagues from Partnerships for Schools are arranging to meet the Paediatric Continence Forum to discuss the adequacy of water and toilet provision in schools. This will include considering statutory methods that might be appropriate. This issue has already been addressed in the Building Schools for the Future programme with the 2007 publication of Toilets in Schools, a DCSF guidance note to encourage the use of standard layouts and designs to make toilets more attractive, cleaner and safer for pupils to use. Schools: Cricket Mr. Bone: To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families (1) what percentage of state schools are linked to a cricket club; [292568] (2) what percentage of state schools include organised games of cricket in the sports curriculum. [292569] Mr. Iain Wright: The 2008/09 School Sport Survey, published on 14 October, shows that 58 per cent. of schools are linked to a local cricket club and 89 per cent. of schools include cricket as part of the curriculum. A copy of the 2008/09 School Sport Survey will be placed in the Libraries. Schools: Heating John Mann: To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families how many schools use heat generated by (a) solar panels and (b) ground source heat pumps. [292013] Mr. Coaker: The Department does not hold information on the numbers of schools that use heat generated by (a) solar panels and (b) ground source heat pumps. Investment in measures of this nature would typically be funded from budgets delegated to schools and local authorities. This information may be held at a local authority. The Department receives information on planned installations of renewable energy systems for new school projects that are being delivered within Building Schools for the Future and the Academies programme. We have received details for 71 new school projects since January 2008. Of these, 39 are planning to install systems that generate heat from solar panels, and eight plan to install ground source heat pumps for heat generation. Schools: Standards John Battle: To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families what proportion of (a)

Letter from Christine Gilbert, dated 20 October 2009: Your recent parliamentary question has been passed to me, as Her Majesty’s Chief Inspector, for response. The latest figures published by Ofsted about the inspection outcomes of maintained schools refer to inspections carried out in the autumn and spring terms of 2008/09. During that period, 19% of all schools inspected were judged to be outstanding and 50% were judged to be good in terms of their overall effectiveness. During the same period, 23% of Roman Catholic schools inspected were judged to be outstanding and 56% were judged to be good. Table A summarises the outcomes for all schools inspected during this period by phase of education, and Table B summarises the outcomes for Roman Catholic schools. Figures covering all inspections which took place during the full academic year 2008/09 will be published in November 2009 alongside the Annual Report. A copy of this reply has been sent to Vernon Coaker MP, Minister of State for Schools and Learners, and placed in the library of both Houses.
