<p>The total number of students funded in 2012/13 in school sixth forms, academy sixth
forms and 16-19 free schools established since September 2011 was 9,610 and the total
actual number of students enrolled was 7,775. The numbers by institution type are
as follows:</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Institution Type</p></td><td><p>2012/13 Funded
Students</p></td><td><p>2012/13 Actual Students</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Academy</p></td><td><p>5276</p></td><td><p>4152</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>16-19
Free School</p></td><td><p>220</p></td><td><p>197</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>School Sixth
Form</p></td><td><p>4114</p></td><td><p>3426</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Total</p></td><td><p>9610</p></td><td><p>7775</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>The
majority of academies and all maintained schools are funded on a lagged basis so that
numbers recruited in one year will then determine the allocation in the following
year.Some academies are funded on the basis of estimated numbers, and their funding
is then adjusted based on actual recruitment. The impact on sixth form funding of
any such adjustments is included in these figures.</p><p>The approximate total net
cost of unfilled places in respect of the above in 2012/13 was £5.76 million. Institutions
with unfilled places will have their funding reduced in the following year. The costs
by institution type are as follows:</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Institution Type</p></td><td><p>Net
Cost of Unfilled Places</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>SSF</p></td><td><p>£3.24 million</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Academy</p></td><td><p>£2.39
million</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>16-19 Free School</p></td><td><p>£0.13 million</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Total</p></td><td><p>£5.76
million</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p>
