Advanced Learner Loans (ALL) performance management point academic year (AY) 2026/27
From AY 2026/27 the Department for Education will introduce a single performance management point in January 2027. They'll calculate growth and reductions using a formula based on provider performance. This is instead of through bidding or business case submissions. They will publish further information in the ALL funding and performance rules in late Spring 2026.
Service Standards
You must comply with the service standards when administering Advanced Learner Loans. You can review the service definition and service agreement on the LP Services website.
November drawdown date
Active learners will re-populate on your attendance worklist from 1 November. We'll remind you of this at the beginning of the month. You'll need to review your attendance worklist and submit all outstanding attendance confirmations by the drawdown date, Thursday 12 November. Please submit any initial attendances for returning learners by the drawdown date. You should also check your Change of Circumstance worklist and clear this ahead of the drawdown date.
