1. Information: review of 16 to 19 study programmes data for 2013 to 2014
EFA has reviewed end-year 16 to 19 study programmes data for the 2013 to 2014 academic year, against the core principles of study programmes.
Our approach, including the areas we have reviewed, is outlined on GOV.UK.
We have found that the funding formula has had the planned impact on study programme delivery in most institutions. We have asked a small number of institutions to respond where their delivery appears outside that of the majority of providers.
2. Action: Individualised Learner Record R04 2015 to 2016
The Individualised Learner Record (ILR) R04 data collection for the 2015 to 2016 funding year opens at 6pm on Monday 23 November and closes at 6pm on Friday 4 December.
If you are due to make a return for R04, you must submit your data to the Hub. EFA funded providers who return the ILR are expected to make a full data return at R04 as we will use this to calculate 2016 to 2017 allocations.
A maintenance schedule listing future collection dates and proposed system maintenance is available on GOV.UK.
For more information, please see the Skills Funding Agency payments and data section on GOV.UK.
3. Information: NASBM professional standards
The National Association of School Business Management (NASBM) has launched professional standards for schools business management.
These standards provide a national blueprint describing core responsibilities, specialist disciplines, leadership and management behaviours, and ethical expectations for the school business management profession.
