Scenario
An enrichment session is cancelled in November
A weekly enrichment session counted in planned hours is withdrawn after half term. Nobody thinks of it as a funding decision.
The situation
- Stream
- 16 to 19 study programmes
- Cohort
- A Level 3 programme with around thirty students
- Change
- A timetabled enrichment session is withdrawn in November
- Recorded hours
- Still include the withdrawn activity
Constructed for teaching. No scenario in the Academy contains real learner data, and none ever will.
What needs to happen?
The rules behind this
A 16 to 19 student's funding band is determined by their planned hours for the year, which is the total of planned qualification hours and other planned, timetabled, education-related activity.
16 to 19 provision is funded through a national formula applied to a student's study programme, not through a price per qualification.
Evidence is strongest when it is created at the time of the event it describes and is retrievable without reconstruction. Evidence assembled after a query is asked is weaker and takes longer to produce.
