Allocations Implications for London Yolande Burgess, Strategy Director

Policy changes Entitlement (enrichment activities) cut by 84 funded hours: average 13% reduction in funding per learner All institutions on the same national rate of £2,920: downward convergence for schools Additional £150m for disadvantage: 16% of pot to London cushioned the blow And the other reductions 25% reduction in Teachers Pay Grant Removal of additional payments for teachers’ pensions

Policy changes and funding Allocations –£6million reduction Teachers Pay Grant –£3million reduction Pensions –£9.9million loss

Effect of the changes Proportion of institutions receiving transitional protection: –92% of schools –90% of academies –84% of colleges (general and sixth form) Significant numbers of institutions protected in 2011/12 – future?

Protection ends 2014/15 Incrementally reducing transitional protection Funding per learner

Implications for learners Reduction of 3% per learner for most institutions Reduced curriculum opportunities due to cut in enrichment funding Larger groups to manage costs savings Reduced student contact time Reduction in student support - impact of loss of Education Maintenance Allowance Potential impact on achievement

Known's and unknowns Academy converters: More schools becoming academies – the market place changes All change in schools: Curriculum, targets, inspections, governance, responsibilities Wolf and the curriculum: English and maths, Apprenticeships, work experience, infrastructure Wolf and funding: A move from per qualification funding to per pupil funding

Known's and unknowns Pressure on adult funding: College infrastructure vulnerable – risk averse in a time when we need creativity Post-16 funding formula review: The policy focus next year could shift funding across regions and between types of institutions National funding formula for schools: The appetite for a single formula 4 to19? Simplification: Push for further simplification – risk is that simplicity ends up as simplistic
