Other programmes may, however, include funding for Voluntary Aided schools. Most funding provided by the Department is distributed via local education authorities. Figures for 1997-98 are not readily available. The Department does not hold information relating to specific projects and project schemes made available at Battersea Technology College since 2 May 1997. Many of these related to literacy and numeracy, teachers pay or funding improvements.
Most items sent are for information only.
Since September 2000, we have sent less automatically to schools. Of the 47 documents sent to all primary schools since September 2000 only 11 required action. The main documents of substance were the guide to improve grammar teaching and the autumn package of benchmarking data on pupil performance. The position for secondary schools was similar. Of the 48 documents sent since September 2000 only 11 required action.
