Education written question – answered at on 12 June 2014.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education with reference to the answer of 14 May 2014, Official Report, column 637W, on sixth-form education: student numbers,
(1) how the approximate total net cost of unfilled student places in school sixth-forms, academy sixth-forms and 16 to 19 free schools was calculated;
(2) what these costs were per student.
The net cost of unfilled places referred to in my previous answer was based on the funding per student for each individual institution and the number of students recruited in that institution above or below the allocated number as appropriate. This figure was then adjusted to take into the account the sixth-form element of funds recovered by the Education Funding Agency from those academies which are funded on the basis of estimated pupil numbers but which educated fewer pupils than had been provided for in those estimates.
