What are Study Programmes?...
• Applies to all 16-19 year olds
• Students will take either academic
programme or a substantial vocational
qualification recognised by employers –
these must help them secure skilled work or
a university place
• Where appropriate students will also take
part in work experience
• Students who don’t have GCSEs grade C
in English and maths at 16 will continue to
study these subjects
• Students who aren’t able to study a
substantial
qualification
will
take
a
programme of work experience and continue
to develop their numeracy and literacy skills

16-19 education was funded…
qualification by qualification
• Funding is unfit to support RPA
• Wolf found there to be perverse
incentives which didn’t help raise
standards
• System is very complex and opaque
16-19 education will be funded…
student by student
• Increased focus on providing the
student with a holistic study
programme which will get them into
university or work
• All students receive same basic level
of funding
• Enables and supports a simple and
transparent funding system
• Subject to A level and GSE reform
What is
Changing?
Independent Specialist Providers, Special Schools,
Non-Maintained Special Schools will now be
funded through the 16-19 National Funding
Formula programme funding
What hasn’t
changed?
• Academies, colleges, and providers will still get their funding from
the Education Funding Agency
• Maintained schools – funding via the Local Authority
• Funding system that is based on the data returned in census for
schools/academies or Individualised Learner Record (ILR) for
colleges and other FE providers
• We still have a lagged student system…
…what is delivered in the current year,
is the basis for funding in the next year

This is the final element of the formula fixed by the EFA. It depends on

Applied at student level, not qualification

Retained means still studying a core aim

Will be paid for at least three academic years until and including 2015/16, where
the move to a basic funding rate per student would otherwise result in a reduction in
funding per student.
For shadow allocation calculated by comparing funding per student allocated for
2012/13 (excluding transitional protection) with funding per student for 2012/13
The operation of formula protection funding for future years will depend on progress
of Ministerial Working Group on the reforms for large programmes, A levels and
GCSEs.
Enables you to move on with curriculum reforms and simplification while final details
are resolved
For shadow allocations a 10% cap has been applied- no institution would gain by
more than 10% funding per student

For example:
Funding per student at St Nowhere College is calculated at £4500 per student
in 2012/13, the new methodology gives them £4000 per student
o FPF of £500/student is included in the 2012/13 shadow allocation
o For 2013/14 a similar calculation will be carried out using updated data,
amount will vary with both volumes and data

• This is funding for students with learning difficulties and/or disabilities and/or
special educational needs with support costs above £6,000
• There’s a system based on the same principles for all children and
young people from ages 0 – 24
• It is called place plus – places are funded by the EFA and any additional
top-up funding by the home local authority
• There are three elements to High Needs Funding

The place – EFA Funded
•Element 1 This is the standard 16-19 Funding Formula as we have described – it is
based on lagged student numbers – this aspect rolls on from year to year.
•Element 2 This is the first £6,000 of additional support – numbers are calculated
based on information provided by the local authority about the number of places it is
going to commission from each institution and the EFA adds £6,000 for each place to
the allocation – completing the place funding.
The Plus – Top up Funding – LA Funded
•Element 3 any funding the individual requires above the first two elements is
negotiated and agreed with the student’s home LA

End Sept LAs confirm 2012/13 HNS student numbers and forecast 2013/14 High
Needs places.
End of Oct EFA complete data collection and checks, including clarification of
forecasts which will impact on individual institutions. LAs will confirm amended
forecasts where applicable.
End Nov/early Dec EFA will share 13/14 HNS forecasts with LAs and institutions.
End January , learner number statements will be issued to all institutions.
End of March, institutions have received their funding allocation for 2013/14. This
will include Element 1 funding for HNS on a lagged basis, and Element 2 on the
basis of LA commissioning.
LAs will have completed the negotiations for Element 3 with institutions prior to the
start of the academic year.
