Disaggregated information on the apprenticeship levy that is collected in each constituency, local authority or region of the UK by Her Majesty\u2019s Revenue and Customs (HMRC) is not available. Many larger levy-paying employers are headquartered in one region but they employ staff across the country. Therefore, levy data is reported to HMRC by PAYE scheme rather than by organisation, which means that we cannot attribute the levy collected and spent to individual locations. Individual employers can control where apprenticeship funds are spent in order to meet their current and future skills needs.<\/p>

<\/p>

Since May 2015, there have been 4,690 apprenticeship starts in the Ashfield constituency, 39,650 starts in Nottinghamshire (including in the city of Nottingham) and over 1.7 million starts in England as a whole, reported to date. 49.4% of apprenticeship starts in England were supported by the levy in the first half of 2018/19, which is the most recent period for which data are available.<\/p>

<\/p>

Income from the levy in England is used to fund apprenticeships for all employers, including apprenticeships started before the introduction of the levy as well as apprenticeships started since the introduction of the levy. We recently announced our intention to move non levy-paying employers onto the apprenticeship service, beginning later this year, giving small to medium-sized businesses a greater choice of quality training providers and the opportunity to be more engaged in apprenticeship training decisions for their business.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1523", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Anne Milton"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Guildford"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Anne Milton"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2019-06-06", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "groupedQuestionUIN" : {"_value" : "259160"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2019-06-06T16:27:41.05Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "60"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Education"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Education"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2019-06-03", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Apprentices: Taxation"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many businesses in (a) Ashfield constituency, (b) Nottinghamshire and (c) England pay the apprenticeship levy; and how many of these businesses have apprentices working with them.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3915", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Gloria De Piero"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Ashfield"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Gloria De Piero"} ], "uin" : "259159"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1128838", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Education"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1128838/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The number of state-funded students in scope for the 16-18 Maths measures and their attainment, split by disadvantage status[1] and prior attainment[2], can be found in tables 1-4, attached. These figures are for 2017/18. This expands on published data within the Department\u2019s statistical release, available here: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/a-level-and-other-16-to-18-results-2017-to-2018-revised<\/a>.<\/p>

The number of state-funded students in scope for the 16-18 maths and English progress measures and their attainment, split by disadvantage status, prior attainment, and the type of qualification the student sat in their KS4 study[3], [4] are available in tables 5-8, attached. These figures are for 2017/18.<\/p>

Disaggregating the published figures has necessitated a slightly different methodology to calculate the number of students with positive progress. In some cases this leads to a negligible difference when totals are compared to the published data within the Department\u2019s statistical release[5].<\/p>

For figures in 2016/17, tables 1-8 have been replicated in tables 9-16, attached.<\/p>

<\/p>

[1] Disadvantage status is taken from the census recorded completed for that student\u2019s final year of key stage 4 study.<\/p>

[2] In previous PQs 251400\u2013251406, prior attainment was given based on three groups (\u2018entry level or fail\u2019, \u2018below grade 3/D\u2019 and \u2018grade 3/D\u2019). In the attached tables with information relating to prior attainment points, these points are based on the student\u2019s highest prior attainment in mathematics or English. \u2018Entry level or fail\u2019 is synonymous with points 0 and 0.4. \u2018Below grade 3 or D\u2019 is synonymous with points 0.8\u20133.0. \u2018Grade 3 or D\u2019 is synonymous with points 4.0. This is the case for all the tables provided.<\/p>

[3] \u2018GCSE or equivalent\u2019 includes students whose highest prior attainment were in a GCSE, International GCSE or level 2 certificate. Qualifications are included in this group because they are all similarly graded on a 9-1 or A*-G scale and are included as part of the condition for funding calculations. \u2018Other level 2 qualifications\u2019 includes students whose highest prior attainment was in any other level 2 qualification. This includes level 2 functional skills and free standing maths that are included as part of the condition of funding calculations. This is the case for tables 5-8 and 13-16.<\/p>

[4] The methodology used means that for a small number of students any entries into maths during their 16-18 study which did not reach the grade 4/C threshold (leaving them in scope), may have led to their prior attainment being reclassified. This will have had no noticeable effect on the overall figures. Due to the methodology used to assign points to English literature and language, a small number of students may be assigned to a different qualification type. This is the case for tables 5-8 and 13-16.<\/p>

In the attached tables with information relating to prior attainment points, these points are based on the student\u2019s highest prior attainment in mathematics or English. \u2018Entry level or fail\u2019 is synonymous with points 0 and 0.4. \u2018Below grade 3 or D\u2019 is synonymous with points 0.8\u20133.0. \u2018Grade 3 or D\u2019 is synonymous with points 4.0. This is the case for all the tables provided.<\/p>

[3] \u2018GCSE or equivalent\u2019 includes students whose highest prior attainment were in a GCSE, International GCSE or level 2 certificate. Qualifications are included in this group because they are all similarly graded on a 9-1 or A*-G scale and are included as part of the condition for funding calculations. \u2018Other level 2 qualifications\u2019 includes students whose highest prior attainment was in any other level 2 qualification. This includes level 2 functional skills and free standing maths that are included as part of the condition of funding calculations. This is the case for tables 5-8 and 13-16.<\/p>

[4] The methodology used means that for a small number of students any entries into maths during their 16-18 study which did not reach the grade 4/C threshold (leaving them in scope), may have led to their prior attainment being reclassified. This will have had no noticeable effect on the overall figures. Due to the methodology used to assign points to English literature and language, a small number of students may be assigned to a different qualification type. This is the case for tables 5-8 and 13-16.<\/p>

The number of state-funded students in scope for the 16-18 Maths measures and their attainment, split by disadvantage status[1] and prior attainment[2], can be found in tables 1-4, attached. These figures are for 2017/18. This expands on published data within the Department\u2019s statistical release, available here: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/a-level-and-other-16-to-18-results-2017-to-2018-revised<\/a>.<\/p>

The number of state-funded students in scope for the 16-18 maths and English progress measures and their attainment, split by disadvantage status, prior attainment, and the type of qualification the student sat in their KS4 study[3], [4] are available in tables 5-8, attached. These figures are for 2017/18.<\/p>

Disaggregating the published figures has necessitated a slightly different methodology to calculate the number of students with positive progress. In some cases this leads to a negligible difference when totals are compared to the published data within the Department\u2019s statistical release[5].<\/p>

For figures in 2016/17, tables 1-8 have been replicated in tables 9-16, attached.<\/p>
