DfE Update (formerly ESFA Update) contains the latest information and actions from the Department for Education about funding, assurance and resource management, for academies, local authorities and further education providers.

To reduce communications during the summer holidays, DfE Update will operate on an alternate-week schedule. Published editions will only include routine operational information. This reflects the fact that routine operational information may still be relevant to some recipients during the summer holiday period.

You can get in touch with us using the Customer Help Portal.

The Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA) closed on 31 March 2025. As part of the closure ESFA Update has been renamed DfE Update. You can find previous editions on the ESFA Update collection page.
