<p>In the academic year 2014/15 the base rate of funding for all full time 16-19 students
funded by the Department for Education (including grammar school sixth forms) was
£4,000. This is set out in the ‘Funding rates and formula’ guidance: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/funding-guidance-for-young-people-2013-to-2014-rates-and-formula"
target="_blank">www.gov.uk/government/publications/funding-guidance-for-young-people-2013-to-2014-rates-and-formula</a>.</p><p>
</p><p>The funding allocation for each institution includes factors that allocate
additional funding for disadvantaged students, the nature of the learning programme,
and area costs. As these factors are particular to each institution, the average per
student will differ in each institution.</p><p> </p><p>It is not possible to give
an average for grammar schools, as the Department does not identify them as a separate
category from school sixth forms.</p><p> </p><p>It is not possible to give figures
for 2005 and 2010 that are comparable to 2014/15, as there were significant differences
in the funding systems used in those years.</p>
