Pupils: Per Capita Costs

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how much per pupil funding was spent on each student over 16 and in full-time education in Warrington in each year since 2010.

Answer

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.

The average 16 to 19 funding per student for institutions in Warrington is shown below:

Year

Average Funding Per Student

2013/14

£4,547

2014/15

£4,446

2015/16

£4,441

2016/17

£4,439

2017/18

£4,441

2018/19

£4,383


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.

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.
