Conclusion
The Department noted that a large part of the additional funding that Sir Kevan had recommended had related to suggested changes to the timing of the school day, which had met with a mixed reception among schools and teachers. It had therefore decided to take more time, ahead of the Spending Review, to consider the evidence base for such a large investment. It was looking at exactly how extra time in school might be spent and what happened already within the sector.58 49 C&AG’s Report, para 1.17 50 Q 47 51 Qq 23–24 52 Qq 25, 29 53 C&AG’s Report, para 10 54 C&AG’s Report, Figure 5 55 HC Education Committee, Oral evidence: Education Recovery, HC 452, 29 June 2021, Q 10 56 Letter from Sir Kevan Collins to the Prime Minister, 2 June 2021 57 Qq 103–104 58 Qq 103–104 16 School Funding
