Lord Storey – 2015 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Education
The below Parliamentary question was asked by Lord Storey on 2015-11-25.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what is the current level of per capita funding for students in (1) school sixth forms in schools, (2) sixth form colleges, and (3) further education colleges.
Lord Nash
Funding for all 16-19 institutions comes from the same national funding formula. The national base rate for 16-19 year olds in full time education is £4,000 per student. Weightings related to disadvantage, programme costs and area costs are added to the base rate funding, to reflect additional costs faced by different institutions.
The overall average units of funding for the 2015/16 academic year are:
|
Schools and Academy Sixth Forms |
£4,567 |
|
Sixth Form Colleges |
£4,670 |
|
General Further Education and Specialist Colleges |
£4,973 |
