Unless it can be clearly demonstrated not to be in the interests of the student when designing Study Programmes for 16-19 year olds, schools, colleges and training providers should encourage students to: do a study programme recommended to be around 600 hours;progress to a level of study which is higher than their prior attainment; take qualification(s) which are stretching rather than easy to pass;take qualification(s) that are judged to be of good/suitable size and level of rigour that will enable genuine progression to meaningful employment, training or higher levels of education;achieve English and maths GCSE A*-C or take English and maths provision that will lead to significant progress towards this if this has not already been achieved;participate in value-added non-qualification activity and work experience, whenever appropriate.

School Funding Reform First step towards the national funding formula, concentrating on
simplifying the way schools and academies are funded
We have a very different role from our predecessors in funding schools and academies; and
We have the project lead for funding reform implementation
Significant change, which brings implications for systems, data collection, communications, processes and engagement
Our current activities Specification of the systems to send and retrieve data/info:
– the underpinning systems built on the LA pro formas – the models for academy funding e.g. exclusions may be limited
but still expect some variability Developing the role of the EFA in School Forums – the right to
send an observer Communications:
– academies & School Forums– detailed communications plan, incl. integration with post 16 and
setting up open sessions in the autumn
