3. The total Departmental Expenditure Limit (DEL) budget is £58,833.4 million, a net decrease of
£676.5 million on the Main Estimate £59,509.9 million budget. We have decreased both
resource and capital budgets through a combination of reductions in demand and reprofiling
expenditure across financial years.

DfE Supplementary Estimate Memorandum 2014-15
4. HMT have given their approval via the budget exchange process (the mechanism that allows
departments to carry forward a forecast DEL underspend from one year to the next) for the
department to carry over £275 million of capital funding (related to reprofiled costs) from 201415, for use in 2015-16 on schools projects. A similar transfer of £2.7 million in administration
costs funding has also been approved for use in 2015-16’s Resource DEL budgets.
5. The £402.5 million overall reduction in the Resource DEL budgets includes reductions in both
administration costs and programme budgets. The administration cost RDEL limit has
decreased by a net £2 million. The remaining £400.5 million reduction to programme budgets
has been generated from;

underspends and other budget reductions across the departmental group programme
totalling £367.5m (details provided in pages 7 - 17)

£32m net transfers to and from other government departments (OGDs) for jointly
funded projects and functions that have transferred from DfE (these can be seen in
paragraph 43, tables 3 and 4)
6. The most significant RDEL budget reductions are in the following sections:

Section G – National College for Teaching and Leadership (NCTL) - £121 million

Section H – Education Funding Agency (EFA) - £47 million

Section I – Academies (Net) - £100 million
7. The majority of the department’s resource budgets are paid through the Education Funding
Agency (EFA), of which £14 billion is paid to academy trusts. The Dedicated Schools Grant
(DSG) at £28 billion is the largest portion of the department’s budget. This grant is paid to local
authorities and is either delegated to schools or used for centrally managed provision for
pupils. In addition to underspends, the Estimate includes other adjustments for budgets
transferring between sections, particularly around the DSG and Academies schools funding
budgets. These budgets have been reallocated to reflect more up to date information e.g. pupil
numbers in academy trusts and local authority maintained sector schools. The reductions are
not cuts in education budgets, merely a technical transfer so that the Estimate budgets reflect
where money is being spent. The largest of these changes are:

Section C – £91.2m transferred to the EFA’s budget in Section H from Education
Standards Directorate (ESD) to cover Primary PE and Sport Premium to be paid to
state-funded primary schools to improve their provision of sport and PE.

Section D – £24.6m transfer from Children’s Services to NCTL (Section G) reflecting
NCTL's role in managing Early Years workforce funding.

Section H – £213m transferred from the academies General Annual Grant (GAG) in
Section I to the Dedicated Schools Grant (DSG) to account for the greater number of
pupils in maintained schools, resulting from a lower number of academy conversions
than previously forecast.

Section I – £236m from the Education Funding Agency (EFA) to academies Sixth
Forms to reflect funding required for the actual numbers of post 16 pupils in academies.
This increase has been offset by a net reduction of £239.9 million for the potential
underspend on resource expenditure by academies, arising from their consolidation
within the group accounts.

28/07/2017 17:26
DfE Supplementary Estimate Memorandum 2014-15
8. The capital DEL limit has reduced by £273.9 million since the Main Estimate. The main
change is the £275 million that has been carried over into 2015-16 so that we can spend it on
schools capital projects that have been reprofiled. This £275 million decrease has been offset
by some small increases in budgets for energy efficiency loans. More information on the
changes to the capital budgets is provided on page 18.
9. Annually Managed Expenditure (AME) has increased by £669.3 million for the movements on
non-cash budgets, mainly related to academies budgets. Examples of the non-cash budgets
include the movement in pension deficits / surpluses, provisions, depreciation on academy
trusts’ donated assets, revaluations, impairments, and the new Risk Protections Arrangement.
More information on the reductions and other changes is contained in paragraph 46 onwards.
Key Activities Supported by the Above Provision
10. The Department for Education is working to achieve a highly educated society in which
opportunity is equal for children and young people, no matter what their background or family
circumstances. It is responsible for the following education and children’s services in England:

Teaching and learning for children in the early years and in primary schools

Teaching and learning for young people under the age of 19 years in secondary
schools and in further education, or the ages of 3 and 25 for those with learning
difficulties and disabilities

Supporting professionals who work with children and young people

Helping disadvantaged children and young people to achieve more

Making sure that local services protect and support children.
11. In 2014-15 our priorities are:

Creating a self-improving, school-led system

Developing a great workforce – with strong leadership

Increasing rigour and expectations of curricula, assessment and behaviour

Protecting and increasing opportunity for vulnerable children

Supporting schools to prepare well-rounded young people for success in adult life.
The Supplementary Estimate updates budgets to reflect recent spending announcements
since the Main Estimates were published. New programmes to develop careers advice, and
character, have been introduced to implement the new fifth priority shown above, including the
new cadet bursary scheme (reporting into Section B – School Infrastructure and Funding).

28/07/2017 17:26
DfE Supplementary Estimate Memorandum 2014-15
Explanation of Estimate Funding
Departmental Expenditure Limit
12. The Departmental Expenditure Limit (DEL) is based on the department’s 2010 Spending
Review Settlement which is then adjusted for baseline movements such as budget
announcements, transfers to and from other government departments, other funding
drawdowns and changes in budgeting treatment. The annual baseline movements since the
Spending Review are listed in the departmental control totals table in paragraph 51.
13. Within DEL there are three separate control totals. At the Main Estimate these limits were:

Resource DEL - administration £324.9 million

Resource DEL - programme £54,154.9million

Capital DEL - £5,030.1 million
14. In addition to the summary tables in paragraph 51, further information on the impacts of the
changes to the DEL budgets are detailed in Annex C.
Annually Managed Expenditure
15. Annually Managed Expenditure (AME) is expenditure that is demand led or exceptionally
volatile which make it difficult for departments to control. All of the department’s demand led
programmes, such as Initial Teacher Training, are included in the DEL control total. The only
items in AME are non-cash funded items which include:

the movement in pension deficits / surpluses allocated to academy trusts by the Local
Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) in respect of some of their employees,

the take up and release of provisions,

depreciation on academy trusts donated assets,

revaluations and impairments,

the write off of bad debt.
16. More information on the budgets within AME is provided in paragraph 46.
Structural Changes to the Estimate
17. The Estimate structure is based on the programme activities of the directorates within the
department. This structure has not changed since the Main Estimate apart from removing the
section relating to Non Departmental Public Bodies (NDPB) AME costs. Following the transfer
of the Children and Family Court Advisory and Support Service to the Ministry of Justice, there
is no planned AME expenditure this year by the remaining NDPB, the Office for Children’s
Commissioner.

Significant Changes to Programmes and those with Increased Remit
Departmental Expenditure Limit
Resource DEL – Administration Costs - £323 million
18. The administration cost control total includes the department, its agencies, and its other Arm’s
Length Bodies (ALBs). The main departmental administration budgets are in Section A, with
the administration budgets for the agencies and ALB’s shown separately in Sections E, F, G
and H. The administration costs of academy trusts are classed as programme expenditure and
consequently are not included in the DEL administration cost control total.
19. The DEL administration cost control total has reduced by £1.9 million in the Supplementary
Estimate. This reduction relates to the transfer of administration costs to other government
departments, listed in Table 2 below, as well as the key following adjustments;

(£2.7m) reduction for unspent administration costs, carried over to 2015-16

£0.4m increase in the resource department expenditure limit resulting from the 2013-14
cash management rebate.

(£0.3m) reduction to the department’s control total, reflecting the fact that departments
can now recover the VAT on non- criminal legal representation expenses.

£0.8m increase as a result of the reclassification of costs, relating to the administration
of the Risk Protection Arrangement for academies, from programme budgets to
administration.
Table 2 – Admin costs transferred to other government departments
Resource DEL – Programme Costs £53,754.3 million
20. Since the Main Estimate the department has realised net reductions totalling £400.5 million
across all its programmes. It has achieved this reduction in the overall costs by reducing
spending on contracts and grants, and lower than expected expenditure on some demand led
programmes. This reduction does not affect the ring-fenced budgets.

Department for Work and Pensions following the recommendation from the Family
Stability Review.

(£6.0m) inter-departmental movement to the Department for Culture, Media and Sport
resulting from the agreed transfer of the Book Gifting policy.

(£5.0m) transfer of funds to Ofsted to cover additional costs of inspection arrangements
for Early Years settings.

(£1.4m) transfer to the Department of Health as DfE's contribution to costs of providing
nursery milk for Two year olds.

(£0.2m) to transfer the costs relating to the National Association of Children’s Contact
Centres to Ministry of Justice
31. Reductions on Programme
The £28.6m budget reductions are listed below:

(£6.4m) Family Support Contact budget is not required in this financial year. The
funding was originally allocated to meet any additional costs of the parental involvement
clause in the Children and Families Bill. Following Ministerial agreement,
implementation was moved from April 2014 to autumn 2014 and therefore the costs will
not be incurred until 2015-16.

(£6.1m) has been redirected from the Social Work programme. The majority of this
funding (£5m) was planned to fund further interventions and improvement activity.
Following a review of the programme, it was concluded that adequate provision had
already been made for this financial year.

(£5.5m) underspend on the National Social Work Reform Support programme. The
majority of the funding was allocated to deliver the outcomes of the Narey Review.
Following revised timescales, a significant proportion of these outcomes are now
expected to be delivered in 2015-16.

(£4.1m) given up from LA Improvement Grants, largely due to a reduction in the level of
intervention required by Local Authorities.

(£1.4m) has been given up from the Adoption budget due to a significant reduction in
the number of placement orders made and the number of decisions made by local
authorities to pursue care plans for adoption. These changes are a response to a
number of high profile court judgments on care and adoption order cases. The criticism
has led to a slowdown in the adoption pipeline.
12
28/07/2017 17:26
DfE Supplementary Estimate Memorandum 2014-15

(£1.5m) less expenditure than expected on the Multi-Systemic Therapy programme
because the outstanding payments from 2013-14 payable in 2014-15 were less than
expected.

(£3.6m) relating to a number of small reductions of less than £1m.

34. Budget reallocations (to)/from other parts of DfE
There have been a number of large and small transfers in and out of the NCTL’s budget line
to ensure the agency’s budget reflects what it is being asked to deliver.
The main transfers between NCTL and the other sections are listed below:

£24.6m transfer from Children’s Services (Section D) to NCTL for the management of
Early Years workforce funding.

£5.0m transfer from Children’s Services (Section D) to NCTL for management of
Special Educational Needs workforce (Educational Psychologists).

£3.7m transfer from Education Standards Directorate (Section C) to NCTL to fund the
maths hub programme.

£0.3m allocated due to the cost of the expansion of the Future Leaders contract being
higher than originally anticipated.

(£6.6m) transferred to ESD (Section C) following agreement that the National Priorities
initiatives in respect of Science Learning Centres and Impact Awards should transfer
from NCTL to the STEM policy team in ESD.

Summary of Changes
40. Transfers to academies from the EFA (see paragraph 36)

£236.0m transferred from the maintained sector budget in Section H to bring academy
sixth form budgets in line with current forecasts of funding required in the maintained
and academy sectors.

£102.0m transferred from the Pupil Premium budget to academies to pay for academies
Pupil Premium and the Year 7 catch-up programme.

£48.5m transferred from the Maintained School Free School Meals (FSM) budget to the
academies GAG to pay for FSM in academies.

£11.0m transferred to the academies GAG to fund PE and Sports in academies.

the correct schools/academies split due to fewer number of academy conversions than
previously forecast.

(£213.0m) transferred from academies GAG to the DSG to account for the DSG
overspend resulting from the lower than previously planned number of academy
conversions.
41. Budget reallocations (to)/from other parts of DfE

£0.2m transferred from ESD to the EFA to enable payments to be made to two
academies who have taken part in the Techbacc trailblazers. The money is going to the
EFA who have the facility to pay directly to the two academies involved.

DfE Supplementary Estimate Memorandum 2014-15

(£1.03m) HMT approved the reclassification of RDEL programme costs into capital to
finance the loans to schools for energy efficiency projects.

(£239.9m) net forecast underspend has been deducted from the department’s RDEL
limit.
42. Reductions on Programme

(£100.0m) given up from the academies GAG due to lower costs per pupil of minimum
funding guarantee protections, lower non recoupable elements of academies funding,
lower costs of special free schools pupils and fewer academy openers than initially
anticipated.
Transfers of Functions to and from Other Government Departments (OGDs)
43. There are a number of budget transfers both to and from the department, as a result of
machinery of government changes and the transfers of funding for joint projects to the lead
department. The net impact of the changes is to decrease departmental programme budgets
by £31.96 million. Tables 3 and 4 list the individual changes.

Capital DEL
44. The department’s £5,030 million net capital control total has decreased by £273.9 million in the
Supplementary. In addition to some movements between budgets to reflect project
announcements made after the Main Estimate, a budget exchange of £275 million from this
financial year to the next has been agreed with HM Treasury. The changes to budgets are
outlined in Table 5 below.

Annually Managed Expenditure
46. In the Main Estimate the AME total was a £19.122 million credit for the net movement in
departmental provisions. The budget was a negative amount because the amounts released
from provisions to offset cash payments were expected to be higher than the amount the group
intended to set aside for future year’s costs. Although the departmental provisions have
increased by £12 million, it is the inclusion of information from academy trusts that has made a
significant change to this position. As a result the AME non-cash budgets have increased from
(£19.1m) to £650.2m to meet the costs related to the movement in various departmental
provisions and academies’ non-cash expenditure. The individual changes making up the
£669.3 million net increase are:

£500.0 million increase in the potential deficit allocated to academy trusts in relation to
their employees who are members of the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) –
Section M. Further information on this spending became available after the Main
Estimate was prepared.

£74.0 million for the depreciation on donated assets has been transferred to Resource
AME in Section M.

£81.0 million increase resulting from the revaluation of assets at the point of conversion
to academy status given that the budget forecast returns do not give us any indication
of the revaluation adjustment.

£2.0 million increase in the potential movement on provisions for academies.

£5.8 million increase resulting from the creation of the Risk Protection Arrangement
(RPA) provision.

£6.5 million increase to the department’s other provisions.
47. The £500 million increase for the forecast movement in the LGPS pension deficit is based on
historical movements of liabilities, increased proportionately to reflect the expected higher
number of academies. The final movement on the LGPS pension fund depends on a number
of factors outside the department’s control and we will not know the final position until we
receive actuarial valuations in March 2015. It is therefore possible that (as in 2013-14) the final
outturn will be in excess of this provision, leading to an Excess Vote. The conversion of
maintained schools to academies does not change these liabilities, but it moves them from the
local authority sector to the central government sector, which therefore impacts on the
Estimate and on the department’s consolidated accounts.

Net Cash Requirement
48. The changes to budgets in the Supplementary Estimate decrease the Net Cash Requirement
by £585.2 million from £58,913.1 million to £58,327.9 million.
49. Table 7 details the reconciliation between the net resource total and the net cash requirement
by adding cash needed to support increases in payments (e.g. grant in aid, cash payments
from provisions), and deducting non-cash expenditure (e.g. depreciation, NDPBs resource
expenditure). The cash impacts of the Supplementary changes are listed in the ‘Change’
column.
Table 7 Net Resource to Net Cash reconciliation
50. This reduction in cash reflects the reduction in cash resource and capital programme budgets.

Provisions and Liabilities
52. There are four main categories of provisions for liabilities and charges. The balances at 31st
March 2014, as reported in the Annual Report and Accounts 2013-14, are shown in Table 9
below.
53. The purpose of the early departure provision is to recognise the department’s financial liability
to meet the additional costs of benefits beyond normal Principal Civil Service Pension Scheme
(PCSPS) benefits in respect of DfE employees who retire early, and compensation payments
payable to employees who take early severance.
54. The Retirement Compensation provision was created for the department’s liability to pay
premature retirement compensation to former teaching staff of ex-Grant Maintained Schools
and Colleges, and pension payments relating to the staff of former departmental bodies
(Schools Council, Training Commission and NDPBs).
55. The property provision was set up to meet the future lease costs of surplus properties which
were re-assigned to the Secretary of State when the Training and Enterprise Councils (TEC’s)
and former ALBs were closed. The property provision is expected to end in 2018.
56. Other provisions include various different categories of provisions held by ALBs and former
ALBs. These include a provision as a result of the finding of a Judicial Review into European
School Teachers relating to promotion and retirement rights, disputed utilities costs and equal
pay claims. The Judicial Review created an obligation for the group to make these payments to
European School Teachers. Details of other provisions held by the EAs and NDPBs can be
found in their individual annual reports and accounts.

57. A new departmental provision has been created this year for the costs associated with the Risk
Protection Arrangement (RPA) for academy trusts. The RPA was launched on 6th September
2014, and is an alternative to insurance for schools which opt into the scheme so that any
losses for those schools are covered by the department. It started on 1 September 2014. We
have created a £5.8m provision to meet the estimated costs of those claims in respect of 201415 which will become payable after the year end.

DfE Supplementary Estimate Memorandum 2014-15
Contingent Liabilities
58. Contingent liabilities are potential liabilities that are uncertain, and the department will only
incur future expenditure if certain conditions are met or certain events happen. At the time of
the Supplementary Estimate, the department has twelve current contingent liabilities.
59. The following paragraphs provide more details of the individual indemnities and guarantees.
Statutory Contingent liabilities
60. Under paragraph 7 of the Schools Standards Framework Act 1998, the Secretary of State has
a statutory duty to indemnify any adjudicator against any reasonable cost and expense
reasonably incurred by the adjudicator in connection with any decision taken in pursuit of their
statutory duty for the Office of the Schools Adjudicator. The adjudicator’s decisions can be
challenged through judicial review. It is not possible to quantify the potential costs.
Non-Statutory Contingent liabilities
61. The department is providing an indemnity to local authorities for potential costs on buildings
they own, with existing Private Finance Initiative (PFI) arrangements, which will be used by
academy trusts. This type of indemnity is considered to be low risk and is only a feature of the
academies programme in very specific circumstances. These contingent liabilities only arise
where an academy trust is using a local authority building with an existing PFI contract; to date
the department has not received any claims against these PFI arrangements. At 31 March
2014 the liability was estimated at £2.1 billion. However we are reviewing the extent of the
liability and will be writing to Parliament in due course to provide the latest estimate. This will
be considerably higher, to reflect the number of academies with PFI liabilities. This contingent
liability does not change the liability across the public sector, it simply moves it from local
government to central government.
62. An indemnity for £5 million has been provided to Kent County Council for any unforeseen
liability in respect of contamination, defect or asbestos presence at the Duke of York Royal
Military school site.
63. The department has provided a £12.5 million guarantee to Tottenham Hotspur Property
Company in relation to a commercial lease arrangement for an academy trust site.
64. The department has provided a guarantee to cover costs that would arise from the reinstatement of the Free School Norwich’s building to its original condition in the event of its
closure. The department estimates that this stands now at £110,000.
65. Liabilities that arise from Commercial / Educational Procurement Centre staff who have been
made redundant and may seek redress through an Employment Tribunal. The estimated
exposure is £62,000.
66. It is important that senior staff likely to be running a school when it opens are involved and take
forward the development of the school from a very early stage. Consequently the group
engage Principals Designate, and meet the salary costs prior to a school opening. The
department has agreed to underwrite the salaries of Free Schools’ Principals Designate for up
to two terms in the event the schools do not open as planned. The department estimates the
current balance for this guarantee to be £330,000.
67. For the purpose of calculating employee contributions, the Local Government Pension Scheme
(LGPS) Administering Authorities view academy trusts as higher risk employers as they no

DfE Supplementary Estimate Memorandum 2014-15
longer have the financial backing of the local authority. Consequently, academy trusts are
being asked to pay significantly higher LGPS employer contribution rates to those set when
they were a local authority maintained school. The department has agreed to guarantee that if
an academy closes, the group will meet any outstanding pension liabilities owed to LGPS. The
upper limit of the guarantee is currently £6.5 million. The purpose of the guarantee is to give
LGPS Administering Authorities the confidence they need to treat academies equitably, and
ensure that there is no significant divergence in employer contribution rates upon academy
conversion. A Parliamentary Minute was laid to report this new contingent liability in July 2012.
68. CET Westminster Free School, a free school project required urgent approval of an indemnity
to the Church Commissioners for the costs of potential legal challenge, without which the
project could not proceed. The indemnity expires on 31 March 2017. HM Treasury approval
was secured for up to £5 million. The Accounting Officer wrote to Chair of the Public Accounts
Committee on 21 August 2013, copied to the Education Select Committee, to seek approval
under the special reporting arrangements. This was followed up with a parliamentary minute
which was laid on 17 October 2013.
69. HM Treasury authorised the department to provide an indemnity and a guarantee to East
London University Technical College in the event of the termination of the Funding Agreement
for the cost of a fully serviced lease of up to £466,989.
70. The department has agreed to provide an indemnity to Free School, Tottenham University
Technology College. The indemnity covers the costs on the 35 year lease on the site up to
£16.5 million. This was approved by Treasury on 23 December 2013.
71. The department also has guaranteed Free Schools acting as guarantor in their tenant default
agreements with their landlords in case a Free School tenant is in breach of its lease. This
guarantee has an upper limit of £2.8 million.
Departmental Accounting Officer
72. This Memorandum has been prepared with reference to the guidance in the Estimate Manual
provided by HM Treasury and available on the House of Commons and Scrutiny Unit website.
73. The Departmental Accounting Officer has personal responsibility for the content in the
memorandum and formal approval of the memorandum has therefore been obtained prior to
submission to the Select Committee.

DfE Supplementary Estimate Memorandum 2014-15
Annex E
Explanation of key terms used in the Memorandum
Accounting Officer
A person appointed by the Treasury or designated by a department to be accountable for the
operations of an organisation and the preparation of its accounts. The appointee is, by convention,
usually the head of a Department or other organization, or the Chief Executive of an Arm’s Length
Body (ALB).
Administration Costs
A Treasury control on resources consumed directly by departments and agencies/NDPBs that
forms part of the Departmental Expenditure Limit (DEL). It includes staff costs, accommodation
and other overheads where they are not directly associated with frontline service delivery.
Ambit
The ambits are set out in Part I of the Departmental Estimate. Separate ambits are required for
both expenditure and income in each budgetary category included in the Estimate (DEL, AME and
non-budget). The ambit describes the activities for which provision sought in the Estimate will be
used.
Annually Managed Expenditure
AME is spending included in Total Managed Expenditure (TME), which does not fall within
Departmental Expenditure Limits (DELs). Expenditure in AME is generally less predictable and
controllable than expenditure in DEL.
Departmental Expenditure Limit
This is spending within the department’s direct control and which can therefore be planned over an
extended period, such as the costs of its own administration, payments to local authorities and
third parties, within education programmes.
Net Cash Requirement
The limit voted by Parliament reflecting the maximum amount of cash that can be released from
the Consolidated Fund to a department in support of expenditure in its Estimate.
Section
An Estimate line within the Part II: Subhead detail table in an Estimate.
