  4. The Case for Change How the System Will Work The Funding Formula & Feedback from Trials Question & Answer Session - Chair and Panel Summary & Next Steps Close Agenda

  5. Future of 6th Form Funding

  6. THE CASE FOR CHANGE • 14-19 Reform Group (DfES)

  7. 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 Reform objectives

  8. 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 14-19 Targets

  9. Why?Post-16 training/skills are biggest weaknesses… • Agestage 0-11 11-19 Workforce HE • OECD ranking 2 - 6 • 2 • 3 • 4 • 7 • Research output Proportion of 4 year-olds enrolled in education • 10 year old reading and literacy • 20 • 18 • Survival rate on academic courses • 15 year old mathematics and literacy • Post-16 participation rate • Proportion of workforce with skills above Level 2

  10. 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 14-19 Reforms

  12. Future of 6th Form Funding

  13. HOW THE SYSTEM WILL WORK

  14. 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 Key principles of the 14-19 landscape

  15. 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

  16. 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 Principles of ademand led system

  17. Demand Led Models Employer Driven Learner Driven Apprenticeships 16-18 16 –18 16-18 Model Employer Responsive Model Learner Responsive Model 19+

  18. How does it work? • 14- 19 Partnership • Research needs and demand to meet entitlement • 14-19 Plan • LA/LSC Review Provision against plan • LA/LSC agree contributions to plan by discussion and agreement with schools, colleges and providers • Allocation calculated

  19. Option 1:Strategic Commissioning

  20. Option 2: 16-18 ModelStrategic Commissioning with reconciliation

  21. Reconciliation ↑£93.2M ↓£49.4M

  22. Reconciliation

  23. Reconciliation ↓£33.2M ↑£100.2M

  24. Declining pupil numbers in the future?

  25. Balancing incentivesand stability Create stability and certainty for provider planning Create demand-led incentives

  26. Other significantchanges for schools • New formula involves success rates • Revised data collection • Disadvantage factor uses IMD 2004 • Creation of ALS budget (from existing budget)

  27. LLDD including SEN LLDD/SEN Costs ALS Formula Provision Costs

  28. New Diplomas • Collaborative arrangements • Pre-16 “off site provision” • Pre-16 “whole school funding” consultation • Post-16 funding flow

  29. 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

  30. 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

  31. Future of 6th Form Funding

  32. THE NEW FUNDING • FORMULA

  33. Funding formula • Standard learner number (SLN) • x • National Funding Rate • x • Provider Factor • + • Additional Learning Support (ALS) • = • FUNDING ALLOCATION OR OUTTURN IN £

  34. 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

  35. 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?

  36. 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

  37. Implications of the changes • Maximum funding per pupil is calculated on individuals • lower level than now • Funding per qualification is increased • Success element increased

  38. Funding Rate SPC Data PLAMS Data SLN Per Pupil Pupil Pupil SLN £3,011 School Name Headcount Headcount A ‘real’ school 199 198 297 1.50 Provider Factors SPC Data PLAMS Data Area Disadvantage Programme Success Success Provider Cost Uplift Weight Rate Factor Factor 1.0000 1.0100 1.0561 92% 0.9600 1.0240 SPC Data PLAMS Data A4C Percentage 2006/07 Funding Funding Change incl. pensions 0.5% £911,727 £916,293 Aim Data Comparison Source AS/A2 levels Applied A / AVCE GNVQ GCSE NVQ Other Total aims SPC 1 0 8 0 0 806 797 PLAMS 790 0 0 0 0 0 790 Sample calculationfor a ‘real’ school

  39. 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

  40. 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

  41. PLAMS data 2006/7Number of Sixth Forms 1723 32 39

  42. PLAMS v SPC data • Numbers of Pupils • SPC 361,249 PLAMS 357,758 Variation –1.0% Variations by schools

  43. A levels • Numbers of A-level subjects • SPC 1,145,227 PLAMS 1,121,781 Variation –2.0% Variations by schools

  44. 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
