Programme Weighting - Table/Spreadsheet?

Created

None

Hi all,

Does anyone know of a source of information where all learning aims will have their appropriate programme weighting factor? 

I've never been able to find anything in the LARS tables that gives "Aim Reference" and "Programme Weighting"

Each year I end up creating something manual by exporting out our learning aims/SSA.2 and adding it in as based off the information provided in Funding guidance for young people 2024 to 2025 rates and formula - GOV.UK has anyone come across a smarter way of doing this? Since each time we change an exam board or run a new course the spreadsheet becomes out of date which isn't ideal since it is linked into some internal reports.

In the LARS mdb (and, I assume, the other versions of the download!), there's a table called Core_LARS_Funding which has columns called WeightingFactor and (for 24/25) AdultSkillsFundingBand which is *probably* what you're after? Although that's the letters/words, not the actual factors?

It's also got RateWeighted and RateUnweighted, so you can divide one by the other to get the factor (probably need to do a bit of rounding)?
