Notes |
This field contains the subset of codes applicable to ITT courses in England from the Instance.FUNDCODE field in the Student record. This field must be coded at the individual student instance level. Fundable means eligible for funding by the appropriate funding council/body, as defined by that council/body. This field should be consistent with the year's early student statistics returns to the funding councils. Supporting GuidanceWhen is a trainee to be recorded as 7 Eligible for funding by DfE? Tuition Fee Routes - School Direct Training Programme / Provider Led trainees: Where they are able to access student support i.e. assessed as 'home or settled or pre-settled status under the EU Settlement Scheme' for the purpose of assessing tuition fee status. All trainees on a tuition fee route that are able to access student support must be recorded as fundable by DfE whether they draw down the support or not. Employment Based Routes - School Direct (Salaried) trainees: Where they are employed in a state maintained school (including an academy or free school), and where they are doing a priority (funded) subject. When is a trainee to be recorded as 2 Not fundable by funding council/body? Tuition Fee Routes - School Direct Training Programme / Provider Led trainees: Where they are assessed as ‘overseas or international’ for the purpose of assessing tuition fees status.
