In December the ESFA published guidance following their review of end of year 16 to 19 study programmes data for 2016/17. Within that they proposed a change to the young people’s funding guidance for academic year 2019/20 about students with prior attainment in English and maths at grade 4 or above. They have now decided not to apply the change in 2019/20 and will confirm by May 2019 whether they will proceed with the change for the 2020/21 year. The updated guidance can be found here.
