Answer

The cost per pupil will vary considerably depending on a range of factors, including a school’s level of Shared Education experience; delivery method, amount of time spent in shared learning, transport costs as well as the number of shared learning opportunities in which a pupil participates.

Consequently it is not possible to provide a cost per pupil if every child participates in Shared Education.
