1. Reminder: you have one month to complete the school-led tutoring year-end statement
The deadline to submit the year-end statement is 6:00pm on Friday 16 September 2022.
This is a mandatory return. You need to complete this form even if you have not used this funding.
Failure to submit your form will result in your full funding allocation being recovered by ESFA.
If your institution has chosen not to use the school-led-tutoring grant, completion of the year-end statement is still mandatory, but it will be a shortened two-step process.
The deadline to deliver any school-led tuition in your school this academic year (2021 to 2022) is Wednesday 31 August.
We have published technical and policy guidance (which includes FAQs and scenarios) and a tutorial video to help local authorities to complete the form.
A tracker and calculator tool is available to help institutions complete the year-end statement, even if they have not been using it all year.
You can read more on the school-led tutoring grant on GOV.UK.
2. Information: Skills Bootcamps funding guidance
The Skills Bootcamps funding guidance sets out the funding and performance management guidance for all suppliers with a contract to deliver Department for Education (DfE) Wave 3 Skills Bootcamps funded by the DfE via the Education and Skills Funding Agency from August 2022.
All suppliers accessing funding via a contract must follow the guidance set out in this document regardless of where they are based or delivering. For further detail on your contractual obligations please refer to your contract.
Suppliers accessing funding for Skills Bootcamp delivery directly via a Mayoral Combined Authority (MCA), Combined Authority (CA), Greater London Authority (GLA), Local Authority (LA), Local Economic Partnership (LEP), should refer to the specific guidance from them and not this document.
