Response

A.

Expenditure​£133,630,553​£136,646,962
Net expenditure (income less expenditure)​£113,896,368​£118,286,801

These figures reflect the Education, Sport and Culture budget as a whole. 

As the accounts are based on the financial year, rather than the academic year, only 2014 and 2015 budget figures are provided.

B.

Cost of teachers salaries as a % of total expenditure for ESC​43.02%​42.71%

This is a percentage of the gross Education, Sport and Culture budget, and includes head teachers, deputies, teachers, supply teachers and lecturers.

It does not include teaching assistants.

Cost of supply teachers as % of total expenditure for ESC ​​1.47%​1.32%

This is a percentage of the gross Education, Sport and Culture budget, and includes training, staff development and conference and course fees. 

It doesn't include supply cover costs to release teachers for training, internally provided CPD, and excludes the costs of consultants.
