Guidance: Advice: funding regulations for post-16 provision

Updated: We have uploaded a presentation that summarises student eligibility rules for 2019 to 2020

Colleges, providers, schools and academies receive annual funding allocations from the Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA) for provision of 16 to 19 education.

These documents give advice about the use of funds for each funding year.

We have made the following additions and updates to the Funding regulations guidance for 2019 to 2020

updated student eligibility advice at paragraphs 28 to 31 for any UK exit date updated the under-16 student eligibility advice at paragraph 51 to provide clearer information on the funding and recruiting of under 16 year old students updated the definition of “exchange schemes” at paragraph 60 updated advice on planned hours at paragraph 93 to clarify that students must not have planned hours that exceed 40 hours per week for their study programme updated advice concerning a change to the condition of funding for students with a grade 2 or below in maths or English. These students can study towards a pass in functional skills level 2 (legacy or reformed) or they can still study towards a GCSE grade 9 to 4. Once they have achieved this, there is no requirement to undertake further maths or English qualifications to meet the condition of funding – see Annex D
