Management Information Sheet

As set out the guidance for 2013/14 claims for these students will be made to a central pot held by the EFA. School Sixth Forms will be submitting claims directly to the Learner Support Service (LSS) with Complex Needs Schools claims being routed through the LA.

School Sixth Forms are asked to send a copy of their claims to the LA as set out in the attached supporting information issued by the EFA.

Institutions that are maintained by a local authority and receive post-16 funding via the LA e.g. school sixth forms and who have an allocation for discretionary bursaries for 2013/14 should submit the funding claim form directly to the LSS. They should send a copy of the form to their LA for information.

Complex Needs Schools only:

Institutions that are not maintained by a local authority but whose 16-19 Bursary Fund is paid to them via the LA i.e. institutions that appear on a local authority’s Annex C, should complete the form in part and forward it to their LA who should complete the final part of the form and submit it to the LSS. The LSS will only accept funding claims from the LA in respect of these institutions – any forms received directly from these institutions will not be processed and LSS will contact the institution to advise them to route their form via the LA.

Claims should be forwarded to both:
