answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/06/2018 answer text <p>Generally, to be eligible for student support from Student Finance England, a student should be resident in England, have ‘settled’ status, on the first day of the first academic year of the course and must have been resident in the UK and Islands (Channel Islands and the Isle of Man) for the three years prior to that date. The three year residency period should not have been “wholly or mainly” for the purpose of receiving full time education. The requirements for home fee status where students are studying in England are broadly similar. There are some, limited exceptions to these general principles.</p><p>There are currently specific provisions in the rules that provide access to student support for persons who hold settled status in the UK and have left England to exercise a right of residence elsewhere in the Economic European Area (EEA) or Switzerland.</p><p>The rules on eligibility for student finance support for UK nationals who are currently residing in the EEA and Switzerland, and who commence courses in England after the UK has left the EU, are under consideration.</p> answering member constituency East Surrey answering member printed Mr Sam Gyimah question first answered 11/06/2018 13:58:54 answering member 3980 label Biography information for Mr Sam Gyimah

uin	147908
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/06/2018 answer text <p>The answer given in response to the Topical Question of 14 May referred to the changes being introduced to the Progress 8 methodology in 2018 to limit the impact that a small number of pupils with extremely negative progress scores can have on a school’s overall score. The Department set out further information on this change in the secondary accountability guidance, published in January 2018. The Department continues to listen to feedback from school leaders and other stakeholders on Progress 8 and to monitor patterns in entries and results, as part of ongoing work to keep all secondary school performance measures under review. My right hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Education announced on 4 May further clarification to the accountability system so that schools can be clear that no mandatory intervention will follow from a progress score. The secondary accountability guidance is available to view here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/progress-8-school-performance-measure" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/progress-8-school-performance-measure</a>.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 04/06/2018 13:47:41 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

Local authorities will continue to set local formulae to determine individual schools’ budgets in 2018-19 and 2019-20. It remains the Department’s intention that every school’s budget should be set on the basis of a single, national formula, but the Department believes a period of transition will provide greater stability for schools.</p><p> </p><p>The Department will publish notional funding formula allocations for 2019-20 later this year after updating calculations using the latest autumn census data.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 04/06/2018 09:31:38 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb
