Introduction

This guide helps you understand how we have calculated your funding allocation for academic year 2022 to 2023.

If there is an error in your data

The figures in the statement are your final funding allocation, which under normal circumstances will not be changed.

We reserve the right to reduce or withdraw your allocation at any stage should issues arise through audit or other processes which:

• significantly affect the data underlying your allocation calculation
• significantly affect contract compliance, or
• we believe that by making an allocation we will be putting public funds at risk

By exception, we will consider evidenced and credible business cases from institutions where there has been a significant error in the data returned by the institution.

Non-maintained special school funding allocation

We will base non-maintained special school (NMSS) funding allocations on the pupil numbers recorded in the October 2021 school census, uplifted by the difference between the pupil numbers recorded in the October 2020 and January 2021 school censuses. Any reduction in pupil numbers between the October 2020 and January 2021 school census is set to zero. This ensures no school is funded below its October 2021 census pupil numbers.

The values on your statement are shown rounded to various numbers of decimal places. The calculation of your funding however is done using un-rounded values. This may result in some slight differences when you work through the calculation yourselves.

Funded places

This section explains how the funded places are determined in the NMSS revenue funding allocation statement.

Total pupil numbers recorded in October 2020 census

• total pupil headcount recorded in the October 2020 census based on the age range that the school is legally allowed to make provision for

Total pupil numbers recorded in January 2021 census

• total pupil headcount recorded in the January 2021 census based on the age range that the school is legally allowed to make provision for

Difference between October 2020 and January 2021

• 鈥榯otal pupil numbers recorded in January 2021 census鈥� 鈥� 鈥榯otal pupil numbers recorded in October 2020 census鈥�

Any reduction in pupil numbers between the October 2020 and January 2021 school census will be shown as zero. No school will be funded below its October 2021 census total pupil numbers.

Total pupil numbers recorded in October 2021 census

• total pupil headcount recorded in the October 2021 census based on the age range that the school is legally allowed to make provision for

Total places funded for 2022 to 2023

• 鈥榠ncrease between October 2020 and January 2021鈥� + 鈥榯otal pupil numbers recorded in October 2021 census鈥�

High needs place funding

This section explains how the high needs place funding is calculated in the NMSS revenue funding allocation statement.

Pupil numbers (October 2021 census)

• pupil numbers recorded in the October 2021 census split by pre-16 pupil numbers and post-16 pupil numbers

Proportions used in 2022 to 2023 allocations

• proportions of pre-16 and post-16 students to be funded based on the 鈥榯otal pupil numbers recorded in the October 2021 census鈥�

Funded places

• the percentage proportions applied to the 鈥榯otal places funded for 2022 to 2023鈥� shown in the 鈥榝unded places鈥� table

Rate

• 拢10,000 per place

Place funding

• 鈥榝unded places鈥� (pre-16 and post-16) 脳 鈥榬ate鈥�

Student financial support funding

This section explains how we have calculated student financial support funding in the NMSS revenue funding allocation statement.

We have continued with the general approach to calculate 16 to 19 discretionary bursary allocations that we first used in 2020 to 2021. We have published advice for institutions on the financial support young people may be able to access to help them participate in education and training.

Post-16 funded place number

• the 鈥榝unded places鈥� (post-16 only) shown in the 鈥榟igh needs place funding鈥� table

Instances per student

• for 鈥榚lement 1: financial disadvantage鈥� we use the student postcode from your summer census 2021 data return and the Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) 2019 to determine the number of instances per student
• for 鈥榚lement 2a: student costs 鈥� travel鈥� we use the student postcode and delivery location postcode from your summer census 2021 return and the Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) 2019 to determine the number of instances per student
• the maximum 鈥榠nstances per student鈥� value is 1.000
• where data is not available to complete the 鈥業nstances per student鈥� calculation, an average value is used
• 鈥榚lement 2b: student costs 鈥� industry placement鈥� funding does not apply to NMSS

Number of instances

• instances per student for 鈥榚lement 1: financial disadvantage鈥� and 鈥榚lement 2a: student costs 鈥� travel鈥� are multiplied by the post-16 funded place number

鈥榠nstances per student鈥� x 鈥榩ost-16 funded place number鈥�

Rate

• the funding rate for each element of the discretionary bursary for 2022 to 2023. Bursary funding rates are subject to change year on year

Funding

• 鈥榥umber of instances鈥� x 鈥榠nstance funding rate鈥�

Discretionary bursary fund

• the sum of each bursary element before transition arrangements are applied

鈥榚lement 1: financial disadvantage total鈥� + 鈥榚lement 2a: student costs travel total鈥�

2019 to 2020 Discretionary bursary funding 鈥� baseline for transition

• your total 2019 to 2020 bursary allocation will be used as a baseline to calculate the transition lower and upper limits (-/+ 75%)

Transition lower limit

• in 2022 to 2023 academic year institutions will receive no less than 25% of the baseline transition amount following the change to the methodology

Transition upper limit

• 175% of the baseline for transition amount. In 2022 to 2023 academic year institutions will receive no more than 175% of the baseline for transition amount following the change to the methodology

Exceptional adjustment

• an exceptional increase or decrease applied to your discretionary bursary funding.

Student financial support funding total

• your total discretionary bursary funding plus exceptional adjustments where appropriate
