Sadly it is exactly the same in my organisation as in Sheila's.
This year we had several E1 Emerging classes for beginners. For financial reasons we are no longer running classes for very low level learners from September and are only taking higher level E1 emerging learners (i.e.who will be able to proceed to Entry 1 at the end of the year).
My very low level learners now have nowhere to go in September as they are not allowed to return.
