ESFA Update further education: 11 December 2024

Published 11 December 2024

Applies to England

Action: DfE further education provider dashboard pilot

The further education (FE) provider dashboard pilot is now live in ‘Private Beta’ (non-public).

The dashboard is a new tool bringing published performance data on learner outcomes for colleges and large local authority FE providers (in receipt of £1 million or more annually directly from the Department for Education (DfE) or via devolved funding into one place), to identify effective practice and support continuous improvement.

To access the FE provider dashboard, log on to view your education data and select the ‘achievement and performance’ option.

We would like all colleges and large local authority FE providers, to start using the dashboard until the end of the academic year, and as preparation for annual strategic conversations. Complete the feedback form which can be found on each page of the dashboard.

Information: 16 to 19 funding allocation and outturn statement R14 2023 to 2024

Final outturn statements are now available on Document exchange for all providers who have submitted a final 16 to 19 individualised learner record (ILR) funding claim and data return.

Following insight from user research, outturn statements will only be available after R14 for the 2024 to 2025 funding year. The 16 to 19 funding claim reports will still be available in submit learner data.
