16 to 19 funding: allocation statement guides

We have added guidance to help you understand your 16 to 19 funding allocation statements for academic year 2026 to 2027.

We have updated the 16 to 19 revenue funding allocation guide: 2025 to 2026 to include rate and programme cost weighting changes following the announcement of additional 16 to 19 funding for academic year 2025 to 2026.

We’ve updated this page to explain that we aim to revise 16 to 19 funding allocation statements in June 2025 to incorporate the 5% T Level uplift we announced on 23 April. The rates in your current 16 to 19 funding allocation statements do not contain the uplift.

We’ve published our allocation statement guides today to support you with understanding your 16 to 19 allocation statements as we start to upload them to Document exchange.

There are 2 guides this academic year.

The 16 to 19 revenue funding allocation guide covers further education colleges, school and academy sixth forms (including special academies and special free schools) and special post-16 institutions (SPIs).

There is a separate guide for non-maintained special schools.
