Funding per student
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 GCSE reform

• This is a count of students to be funded
• Must meet qualifying period of 2 weeks or 6 weeks- will not fund programmes under 2 weeks
• Based on autumn census or ILR return
• Either full time => 540 hours
• Or Part Time < 540 hours
• For 2013/14 and 2014/15 Band 4 = full time
• The bottom band treated as Full Time Equivalent (FTE), that is a proportion of 600
• Age groups 16-18 and 19-24 for HNS are treated the same

This is the final element of the formula fixed by the EFA. It depends on how much learning is taking place across the country and the budget.

The National Funding Rate
A full time rate based on circa 600 hours
Three part time rates for bands 2,3,4
Each funded at mid-point of the band
For Band 4 (450-539 hours) for 13/14 and 14/15 we will fund at the full time rate
Band 1 (below 280 hours) funded as a proportion of 600 hours ie 150 hours gets 25% of the National Full Time funding Rate

Success no longer used in funding, a retention factor is now used
Applied at student level, not qualification level
Retained means still studying a core aim on planned end date or leaves early and is recorded as completed the core aim
For academic programmes – still studying one of the academic aims
For vocational programmes still studying the core aim
Retention FACTOR = half way point between Retention RATE and 100%

• Based on student’s home postcode• Deprivation is calculated using Index of
Multiple Deprivation 2010. This examines the student’s home area based on: income; employment; health and disability; education, skills and training; housing and services; living environment; and crime
• Uplift is between 8.4% and 33.6% of 27% most deprived super output areas

Formula protection funding (FPF)
• 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.
• Calculated by comparing funding per student allocated for 2013/14 (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 example:
Funding per student at Shakespeare College in 2012/13 is calculated at £4500 per student,
The new methodology for 2013/14 gives them £4060 per student,
FPF of £440 per student is included in the 2013/14 allocation

High Needs Students (HNS)
• 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
?TP from 11/12 ? ?

Students
Student Support Funding
Formula Protection Funding
High Needs Students (HNS)
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
