Element 3 Funding arrangements for the Summer term 2020
We would like to give all schools and academies advance notice of Element 3 funding arrangements for the Summer term 2020. Current funding processes will continue until the end of this academic year.
Please note:
- The Authority will carry forward current SEN support and EHCP pupil allocation of Element 3 funding into the Summer term 2020. This includes all decisions made for new SEN Support and EHCP applications made during the Spring term 2020
- Similarly, any cases that have been allocated Exceptional Circumstances funding during the Spring term, will be carried forward to the Summer term 2020, unless we have notified schools otherwise
Actions for schools:
- Schools only need to apply for NEW SEN support and EHCP pupil requests for Element 3 funding, including exceptional circumstances funding, which will require submission of an application form
- Schools should ensure they keep comprehensive records for pupils where funding has previously been applied for and agreed. Please do not re-apply for pupils already funded
- Application forms will be available on Perspective Lite with effect from 20 April 2020
- When uploading applications to Perspective Lite please use the following naming protocol – School name/SEN or EHCP/Term/Year eg ‘CastlePrimary SENSummer20'
- The application form should also be used where there is a request for band amendment
- Schools should inform us within 7 days where there has been a change of circumstances for a funded pupil eg, pupil has left the school, or moves to a part time timetable
