1. Information: 2019 to 2020 academy general annual grant allocations
We have started to upload academy funding allocations for 2019 to 2020 to ESFA Information Exchange. We will upload allocations for academies that opened before or on 1 January 2019 by the end of March 2019.
For academies with sixth forms, the detail of your 16 to 19 allocation will, as usual, be set out in your separate 16 to 19 allocation statement.
We are uploading allocation statements to the Document Exchange ‘revenue funding’ folder, under ‘AY 2019-20 (2019/20)’. You can access Document Exchange by logging into Information Exchange, and choosing the Document Exchange tab at the top of the page. For support and guidance about Information Exchange, please visit our support page.
We have published the academy general annual grant allocation guidance to support your pre-16 allocation statement.
If you have any queries, please contact us using our online enquiry form.
2. Information: updated PE and sport premium allocations for 2018 to 2019
We have updated the published PE and sport premium allocations for 2018 to 2019, to include newly eligible schools.
3. Information: update on reformed functional skills qualifications in English and maths
In February 2018, the Department for Education (DfE) confirmed the subject content for English and maths functional skills qualifications. In July 2018, Ofqual published the rules against which they will regulate the reformed qualifications. Awarding organisations have been developing their qualifications since then.
More information is now available on the technical evaluation Ofqual are conducting, including the status of each of the qualifications currently being developed.
