  1. Education Services Grant: 2015 to 2016 Andy Humphreys

  2. What is the Education Services Grant? • Replaced the Local Authority Central Spend Equivalent Grant (LACSEG) • Represents the average cost of services local authorities (LA) provide to maintained schools: • e.g. education welfare services • Set at £140 per pupil in 2014 to 2015 • includes nursery, post-16 pupils and pre-16 high needs and alternative provision places • includes a top up of £27 per pupil on the LA rate • plus protection against reductions from previous year’s funding • Consultation held in March 2014

  3. 2015 to 2016 ESG consultation • Intention to converge LA and academy national funding rates • What can be done differently? • What functions can be stopped completely?

  4. 2015 to 2016 ESG for academies

  5. ESG protection • Tapered protection • Those with ‘low’ ESG will not see a fall of more than 1% of their overall funding per pupil • Those with ‘high’ ESG (often through historic protection of high LACSEG) will not see a fall of more than 3% of their overall funding per pupil • Protection levels are academy specific, dependent on historic funding levels

  6. ESG protection 2 14/15 Post-16 allocation Protection = loss at D cannot exceed x% of A on a per pupil basis. The rate for x% depends on how much B is: if B = £140 the rate is 1%; if B is more than £140, x% gradually increases. Schools Block A 15/16 D = B - C SEN LACSEG Protection added to limit loss to x% of A ESG protection ESG at £140pp B C ESG at £87pp

  7. ESG protection – how is it calculated? • Special and AP providers will see a multiplier used for the £140 and £160 benchmarks

  8. Example ESG calculation • Total 2014 to 2015 funding = £5,500pp (including school budget share, post-16 and ESG) • ESG = £140pp; 2014 to 2015 protection = £300pp; SENLACSEG = £25pp, giving a total of £465pp • Meaning a potential drop of (£140 - £87) + £300 + £25 = £378pp

  9. Example ESG calculations 1 2014 to 2015 Post-16 allocation Schools Block £5,500pp ESG £140pp ESG protection £300pp £465pp SEN LACSEG £25pp

  10. Example ESG calculation 2 2014 to 2015 2015 to 2016 without protection ESG £140pp ESG £87pp ESG protection £300pp £465 Potential loss of £378pp SEN LACSEG £25pp

  11. Example ESG calculation 3 £20 x 2 2014 to 2015 2015 to 2016 with protection / = £1,095 £465 2.35% ESG £140pp £140 x 1 £305 x 3 ESG protection £300pp £465pp SEN LACSEG £25pp

  12. Example ESG calculation 4 2014 to 2015 Post-16 allocation Schools Block £5,500 per pupil x 2.35% ESG £140pp ESG protection £300pp SEN LACSEG £25pp

  13. Example ESG calculation 5 Per pupil funding cannot fall by more than: x £130 = £5,500 per pupil 2.35%

  14. Example ESG calculation 6 2015 to 2016 with protection 2015 to 2016 without protection ESG £87pp ESG £87pp Protection of £248pp Potential loss of £378pp Loss limited to £130pp
