There has been an increase in capitation, albeit a steady and small one, over the last two budgets. My intention is to keep moving in that direction. The difference between primary and secondary education is largely due to the size of buildings, specialist rooms and so on. There is a difference in scale between the two but I intend to continue the increase in capitation as far as possible within the confines of the budget.
