  1. 16-19 Funding 2013/14 Update Lynne Tabone Education Funding Agency October 2013

  2. The 16-19 funding formula ( ) Student Numbers National Funding Rate per student Retention Factor Disadvantage Funding Area Cost Allowance Programme Cost Weighting Total Programme Funding

  3. National Funding Rate per student ( ) Student Numbers Retention Factor Programme Cost Weighting Disadvantage Funding Area Cost Allowance Full- and Part-time Funding rates • 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

  4. ) ( Retention Factor Prog Cost Weighting Disadvantage Funding Area Cost Allowance Student Numbers National Funding Rate per student What is Funded? Hours that are: • Directly relevant to the study programme • Planned, explicit in the Learning Plan or Timetable • Supervised and/or organised by the provider • Quality assured by the provider • Within normal working pattern

  5. ) ( Retention Factor Prog Cost Weighting Disadvantage Funding Area Cost Allowance Student Numbers National Funding Rate per student Qualification Hours Hours that are delivered towards qualifications that are approved for teaching to 16-19 year olds under section 96 of the LSC act 2000.

  6. ) ( Retention Factor Prog Cost Weighting Disadvantage Funding Area Cost Allowance Student Numbers National Funding Rate per student Non Qualification Hours • Not counted towards a qualification • Informal certificates • Non-qualification activity • Tutorials • Work experience/Work related activity • Volunteering/community activities organised by provider • Enrichment activities

  7. ) ( Retention Factor Prog Cost Weighting Disadvantage Funding Area Cost Allowance Student Numbers National Funding Rate per student Not Funded • Voluntary extra-curricular activities and clubs delivered during breaks or outside normal working pattern • Study that is homeworkor independent study/research that is not timetabled • Employment or work experience organised by anyone other than by or on behalf of the provider • Volunteering/community activities that are not organised by or on behalf of the provider

  8. The Bottom Line • Consider the needs of the learner – the programme must be relevant to their needs • Appropriate information, advice and guidance are vital • Where does the learner need to get to – progression planning is key

  9. Retention Factor ) ( Programme Cost Weighting Disadvantage Funding Area Cost Allowance Student Numbers National Funding Rate per student Retention Factor • 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% Number of students completed Number of students started

  10. Programme Cost Weighting ) ( Disadvantage Funding Area Cost Allowance Student Numbers National Funding Rate per student Retention Factor Programme Cost Weighting • Recognition that some vocational subjects are more expensive to teach than others • Applied to the student’s whole programme • Determined by the student’s core aim ie A Levels or substantial vocational qualification • All academic programmes uplifted by one weight, which has been determined by merging the 2 current academic weightings and low cost vocational programmes and rebasing these as 1, • Vocational Programme Weighting categories are being reduced in number and re-set to make it simpler: applied at sector subject areas

  11. DisadvantageFunding ) ( Area Cost Allowance Student Numbers National Funding Rate per student Retention Factor Programme Cost Weighting Disadvantage Funding • Recognises that some students require additional support to participate and achieve if we are to achieve full participation and improve attainment • Principle is to create a single budget that institutions use as they see fit Disadvantage Funding Economic Deprivation Prior Attainment

  12. Student Support Funding TP from 11/12 High Needs Students Formula Protection Funding ? ? ? Formula protection funding (FPF) • Will be paid for at least three academic yearsuntil 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

  13. Student Support Funding TP from 11/12 High Needs Students 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 2This 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 3any funding the individual requires above the first two elements is negotiated and agreed with the student’s home LA

  14. ) ( Condition of Funding English & Maths Retention Factor Prog Cost Weighting Disadvantage Funding Area Cost Allowance Student Numbers National Funding Rate per student • Any student 16-18 without a minimum grade C in English and/or maths must be working towards this level from 2014/15 Academic Year • Or that student WILL NOT be counted in lagged funding for 2015/16 • DfE will publish a list of what counts as having a grade C – watch the bulletin • These students must enrol on a GCSE, Functional Skills, Free standing maths or ESOL • Functional Skills are a stepping stone towards GCSE and not an end in itself – if the student already has a FS at level 2 then must enrol on GCSE • Reports to show you how you are doing – Information Management Portal.

  15. Traineeships For students not quite ready for the workplace, but looking for an apprenticeship route A 5-6 month full-time programme comprising: • Employability • Work experience • English and maths Must lead to progression into an Apprenticeship
