Will the Cabinet Secretary provide a breakdown of the total costs of the school year reform consultation?
Answer
Answered by Cabinet Secretary for Education
The total cost of the work around the structure of the school year is approx. £350,000 (including VAT). This included the Consultation on the School Year itself (approx. £150,000) and two other pieces of commissioned engagement work and commissioned research (approx. £100,000 respectively) with the latter building on the recommendations of the former. This work was carried out across two financial years.
