Exceptional Funding for Significant School Sixth Form Growth in 2006/07

Published 15 June 2006

This publication is of interest to schools, local authorities and regional and local LSC colleagues in the 14-19 sector.

Following on from Priorities for Success, the LSC is adjusting school sixth-form allocations to reflect changing pupil numbers in the following year's allocations, not through an
'in-year' adjustment as previously.

The LSC recognises, from consultation, the difficulties faced by some schools with significantly expanding sixth forms in 2006/07 – the first year of the revised funding arrangements.

To help such schools, the LSC has set aside £10.5 million to give exceptional and limited support for 2006/07 only. This money represents the 'savings' from a marginally lower than projected 2005 sixth-form intake.

This exceptional funding will be used to support local agreements on expansion, as well as providing a transition from making an in-year adjustment.
