uin	249222
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 07/05/2019 answer text <p>Local authorities are required to provide schools with sufficient funds to enable schools to meet the additional cost of pupils with special educational needs (SEN) and disabilities, up to the value of £6,000. This funding comes from the schools’ block of the dedicated schools grant (DSG).</p><p> </p><p>When the costs of additional support required for a pupil with SEN exceed £6,000, the local authority should also allocate additional top-up funding to cover the excess costs. This top-up funding, and funding for special schools comes from the local authority’s high needs budget. In December 2018, we announced an additional £250 million in high needs funding up to 2020, bringing Warrington’s total high needs funding to £20.278 million in 2019-20.</p><p> </p><p>In 2013, the schools and high needs budgets within the DSG were created. As the DSG includes other budgets such as the early years budget, the department is unable to provide comparable figures before 2013-14.</p><p> </p><p>The schools and high needs allocations for Warrington since 2013-14 can be found at the following links:</p><ul><li><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/dedicated-schools-grant-2013-to-2014" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/dedicated-schools-grant-2013-to-2014</a></li><li><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/dedicated-schools-grant-2014-to-2015" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/dedicated-schools-grant-2014-to-2015</a></li><li><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/dedicated-schools-grant-dsg-2015-to-2016" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/dedicated-schools-grant-dsg-2015-to-2016</a></li><li><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/dedicated-schools-grant-dsg-2016-to-2017" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/dedicated-schools-grant-dsg-2016-to-2017</a></li><li><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/dedicated-schools-grant-dsg-2017-to-2018" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/dedicated-schools-grant-dsg-2017-to-2018</a></li><li><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/dedicated-schools-grant-dsg-2018-to-2019" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/dedicated-schools-grant-dsg-2018-to-2019</a></li><li><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/dedicated-schools-grant-dsg-2019-to-2020" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/dedicated-schools-grant-dsg-2019-to-2020</a></li></ul> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 07/05/2019 16:05:20 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi
