New ‘demand-led funding formula’ for all three models

There will be winnersand losers, as shown in this LSC graph for 16-18 funding

SLNs replace the National Base Rateand will either be listed in the Learning Aims Database, or unlisted and based on guided learning hours in the ILR
SLN GLH / 450 = SLN with a learner cap of1.75 SLN per year
SLN x NFR x PF = £

Examples of learner SLNs
Four AS levels (listed 150 SLN GLH each) = 1.33 SLNOne AS General Studies (listed 36 SLN GLH) = 0.08 SLNOne Key Skill (listed 36 SLN GLH) = 0.08 SLN Entitlement (listed 114 SLN GLH) = 0.25 SLN
= 1.75 SLN
One BTEC National Diploma (listed 1080 SLN GLH) = 1.2 SLN*One 90 glh Certificate in Literacy (unlisted) = 0.2 SLN Entitlement (listed 114 SLN GLH) = 0.25 SLN
= 1.65 SLN
One full time NVQ (listed 520 SLN GLH) = 1.16 SLNTwo Key Skills (listed 36 SLN GLH each) = 0.16 SLN Entitlement (listed 114 SLN GLH) = 0.25 SLN
= 1.57 SLN
* Per year in proportion to days in each year between start and end dates
SLN x NFR x PF = £
The National Funding Rate per SLN
The LSC set fully-funded £ per SLN each year, and in 08/09 they are:
• School Sixth Forms £2,945• 16-18 FE £2,860• 16-18 Apprenticeships £2,860• Adult Learner Responsive £2,775• Employer Responsive £2,775
For a 16-18 year old using previous example programmes:
AS level programme: 1.75 x £2,860 = £5,005BTEC Nat Dip programme: 1.65 x £2,860 = £4,719NVQ programme: 1.57 x £2,860 = £4,490
These are used unless the provider has been set a transitional rate
Finally, the funding must be multiplied by a Provider Factor
SLN x NFR x PF = £
The Provider Factor
Each funding model has its own Provider Factor and for 16-18 and adult model in 08/09 is based on averages from delivery in 06/07
e.g. 16-18 Model Lewisham College PF = 1.334
Success factor (e.g. 0.846)
Area Cost (e.g. 1.200)
Programme weighting (e.g. 1.217)
Disadvantage (e.g. 1.079)
Short-programme modifier (e.g. 1.001)

AS level programme: 1.75 x £2,860 x 1.334 = £6,677BTEC Nat Dip programme: 1.65 x £2,860 x 1.334 = £6,295NVQ programme: 1.57 x £2,860 x 1.334 = £5,990
SLN x NFR x PF = £
The funding earned per SLN
1 SLN x £2,860 NFR x 1.334 PF = £3,81516-18 year old
1 SLN x £2,775 NFR x 1.411 PF = £3,916Adult (19+) fee remitted
Adult (19+) fee paying 1 SLN x £1,939 CFR x 1.411 PF = £2,736
1 SLN x £2,775 NFR x 42.5% = £1,179Assumed tuition fee
= £3,916Total income to provider
The formula is the same within the Employer Responsive Model,but with fewer Provider Factor elements (based on actuals) as well as a 75:25 funding split between monthly on-programme payments and achievement (full framework)
SLN x NFR x PF = £
Other things to note: When SLNs count
The three funding census dates (e.g. 1st October) have been scrapped
Instead there are minimum attendance measures, based on duration
Duration Minimum attendance
24 weeks or more 6 weeks
2 to 24 weeks 2 weeks
Less than 2 weeks Once
If an enrolment meets the minimum attendance criteria the SLN value assigned in the given academic year will be counted
This is commonly referred to as the ‘definition of a start’
Fewer full timers and more part timers now being counted?
Other things to note: The SLN per learner ratio

This ratio is likely to be important to the LSC, but what does it imply?
SLNs are a new volume measure that are not the same as FTEs.Caution recommended when used for non-funding purposes.
