In-year growth

Created

None

I'm currently reviewing the in year growth information for 22/23 (in preparation for when the information drops for this academic year).  Does anyone know if GFE's are classed in the CFE category for this purpose please?

Subject to affordability, each year we review the early data returns from institutions delivering 16 to 19 education (including up to 24 for those with high needs), and award in-year growth. There are 3 strands to the in-year growth exercise:

  • exceptional in-year growth for student numbers
  • exceptional in-year growth for specialist post-16 institutions (SPIs) and centrally funded exceptions (CFEs)
  • free meals in FE and bursary

Hi Kelly, there are only a few CFE's in the country. As far as I'm aware these are college groups that have colleges located nationally and therefore don't have a single or predominant local authority to work with. Not sure what a GFE is though so can't say if they are part of CFE's or not.

Thanks for your reply Emma - do you know where to access the list of CFE centrally funded exceptions please?

GFE's are General Further Education colleges.

Thanks

I'm not aware of a list, I'm only aware of them as I work at one, I think there are only 3 or 4 all together. If you get your high needs element 2 places from your local authority you should negotiate with them but as we deal with so many local authorities we get any growth centrally.

That's really helpful - thank you Emma

If you look at the ILR tab on this spreadsheet and filter the Local authority field for "(2)", you'll see the six current CFEs ;)

GFE's need to negotiate extra HNS places with their Home LAs.
