Post 16 funding operates on a distinct formula, designed to be as simple as possible and only as complex as necessary, to adequately allocate funds based on lagged data from previous years. This system takes into account the recruitment of learners, the types of programs and aims being studied, the successful retention of students, and the levels of disadvantage among the students.
For many school leaders, Post 16 Funding may seem like a mysterious process, where the mechanisms and funding data that determine your allocation are obscured and unclear. Despite this, there is a growing understanding of the funding elements that underpin Post 16 funding allocations.
At Pro 16 Plus, we have deep insights into the relationship between primary census data and the processes that translate the data into funding elements. Our role as “Funding Mechanics” is to utilise our understanding of the philosophies, relationships, and processes at work in the Funding Allocation process to explore, manage, repair, and optimise the funding allocation system.
