1. Information: schools funding operational guide for 2019 to 2020

We have published the schools funding operational guide and disapplication proforma for the 2019 to 2020 financial year.

2. Information: performance reporting - FE college groups and multi-site colleges consultation response

DfE has published its response to the recent consultation on changes to the way we report educational performance data for FE colleges. The consultation response sets out the policy decisions that DfE have made following the consultation, and next steps.

The changes will affect FE and sixth form college corporations that deliver their provision under more than one college identity (often as part of a “group” structure), and some other colleges that deliver through more than one site.

We will implement the changes for the 2018 to 2019 ILR year.

ESFA will be writing to individual corporations over the next few weeks to start the implementation process. If you have any questions about the changes, please contact your ESFA intervention team lead.
