THE CASE FOR
CHANGE
14-19 Reform Group (DfES)
14-19 Reform objectives
• Boosting participation, progression and attainment
• An engaging curriculum with qualifications more
valued by employers and HE
• Better guidance and support
• Full range of choices available in each local area
• Supported through funding system meeting
principles set out in FE White Paper
14-19 Targets
• 90% participation at age 17 by 2015
• Reduce the number of young people not in
education, employment or training (NEET)
• 85% of 19 year olds attaining level 2 by 2013
• Raise the participation age
Why?
Post-16 training/skills are biggest weaknesses…

14-19 Reforms
• Entitlement for all young people to have access to
14 Diploma lines from 2013
• To deliver this institutions will need to collaborate
• The funding will need to support this particularly:
– learner choice driving funding allocations
– a common funding system with comparable rates
– incentivising institutions to improve participation, progression and
achievement rates
– a simple, transparent and easy to understand system, based on a
relationship between LSC and providers

HOW THE SYSTEM
WILL WORK
Key principles of
the 14-19 landscape
• To ensure every young person can exercise their
14-19 entitlement and
– undertake elements of programmes in other institution and
– access a broad programme of learning
• With planning overseen by the 14-19
partnership and
– effective collaboration
The Challenge
• The White Paper challenges us to develop a
system which:
– incentivises improved participation, progression and achievement
factors
• Whilst being
– transparent, simple and avoiding bureaucracy
• And providing
– appropriate stability and certainty for planning
Further Education Raising Skills:
Improving life chances
Principles of a
demand led system
• Purchasing power devolved to employers and individuals
• Expanding choice and quality of provision
• Intervening in areas of market failure
• Building capacity
• Appropriate levels of planning
• Collaboration and competition
• Responsiveness to demand

Balancing incentives
and stability
Create demand-led
incentives
Create stability and
certainty for provider
planning
Other significant
changes for schools
• New formula involves success rates
• Revised data collection
• Disadvantage factor uses IMD 2004
• Creation of ALS budget (from existing budget)
LLDD including SEN
LLDD/SEN Costs
ALS Formula
Provision Costs
New Diplomas
• Collaborative arrangements
• Pre-16 “off site provision”
• Pre-16 “whole school funding” consultation
• Post-16 funding flow
Transitional protection
• Aim – to reduce the effects of funding changes
that result directly from the formula
• May be similar to the Minimum Funding Floor
in schools
Key Issues for Consultation
• 16-18
- Incentives v predictability
• Revised data
- Early or accurate collection
• Disadvantage
- Use of IMD 2004
• ALS Allocation
- Impact on rates
• Diplomas
- Funding flow

Additional Learning Support (ALS)

FUNDING ALLOCATION OR OUTTURN IN £
Standard learner number
• Definition of a start - 6 weeks for longer courses
• Based on nominal guided learning hours for the
qualifications each learner studies
• SLN = glh/450 with maximum of 1.75
– Calculated individually for each pupil
• Funding allocations use SLNs that are based on
discussions each Autumn
• In-year monitoring using Schools Census data
National funding rate
• Announced annually by LSC
• In 2008/09 expected to be around £3,000 per SLN
How does this compare with current rates?
Provider factor
• Calculated annually using previous data
• Provider factor contains
– Programme weighting
– Disadvantage (based on IMD 2004)
– Area costs
– Success factor
(uses published success rates for each school)
• For 2008/09 funding allocations, the provider factor
will be calculated using PLAMS 2006/07
Implications of the changes
• Maximum funding per pupil is calculated on
individuals
– lower level than now
• Funding per qualification is increased
• Success element increased

Additional learning support
• Lower level claims
– Partly based on formula
using prior attainment
– Partly based on
negotiation
• Higher level claims
– Based on evolving
SEN model
Funding trials
• Trials took part with 18 volunteer schools
– These schools provided 2005/06 data in PLAMS format
– LSC compared funding using new formula with actual
allocations
– Schools/LSC meetings and visits

Modelling for all
• Next steps
– All schools will receive a comparison of PLAMS and
September pupil count 2006/07
– Schools are asked to ensure June PLAMS submissions
are accurate, with help from LSC
– Comparisons of funding approaches are only accurate
where SPC and PLAMS closely match
