answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/05/2019 answer text <p>16 to 19 funding is based on a national funding formula with a standard base rate of £4,000 for a full-time 16 or 17 year old student, and additional funding related to the characteristics of students and their learning programmes. This formula has operated since 2013/14. A different national funding formula operated before that, but the figures for the 2 are not consistent.</p><p>The average 16 to 19 funding per student for institutions in Warrington is shown below:</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Year</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Average Funding Per Student</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2013/14</p></td><td><p>£4,547</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2014/15</p></td><td><p>£4,446</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2015/16</p></td><td><p>£4,441</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2016/17</p></td><td><p>£4,439</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2017/18</p></td><td><p>£4,441</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2018/19</p></td><td><p>£4,383</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p><br> The table is based on formula funding per student derived from annual allocations covering 16 to 19 provision, to institutions based in Warrington (excluding special schools). Further funding is provided through student support, for high needs provision and from 2018/19 onwards the industry placement capacity and delivery fund.</p><p>Note that this figure includes both full- and part-time students as we do not allocate funding separately for these 2 groups. The vast majority of 16-19 year old students are full-time.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Guildford answering member printed Anne Milton question first answered 07/05/2019 16:32:02 answering member 1523 label Biography information for Anne Milton

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/11/2018 answer text <p>The department does not collect information on the subjects offered by individual institutions. However, the number of students entering each subject can be provided as a proxy, and this data is available at institutional level from 2011/12. Between 2011/12 and 2016/17, there have been 99 sixth form colleges that were open for at least one year. The attached table gives the number of pupils entering each subject at each institution for each year.</p><p>Some sixth form colleges were not always open, have since closed, or have converted to academies (these are denoted as ‘-’ in the figures). Having zero entries into a subject does not necessarily mean that the subject was not offered by the sixth form in that year - it could be the case that no students chose to enter it or if they did, they sat no exams in that particular year. Some sixth forms also have small cohorts of students and therefore the numbers entering different subjects is naturally low and prone to fluctuation; this could lead some sixth forms to have no entries in particular years.</p> answering member constituency Guildford answering member printed Anne Milton question first answered 15/11/2018 13:38:51 answering member 1523 label Biography information for Anne Milton attachment 1 file name Table_for_188729_of_students_entering_subjects_at_sixth_form_colleges.xls title Table_for_188729_of_students_at_sixth_form_college
