4.—(1) Subject to regulation 12, the amount of maintenance grant payable to the governing body of a school for the financial year in question shall be the sum of the following amounts—

(a)would be impracticable;
(b)would not significantly affect the amount; or
(c)would be disproportionately costly having regard to the complexity of the calculation and the likely effect on the amount,
paragraph (1) shall have effect as if it required the Secretary of State to determine as the amount of maintenance grant payable for the financial year in question such amount as appears to him to be fair and reasonable having regard in particular to the former maintaining authority’s scheme.
(3) In these Regulations references to the financial year in question are references to the financial year in respect of which the determination of maintenance grant is made.
5.—(1) Subject to regulations 6 and 7, this regulation applies in the case of any school whose incorporation date falls on or before 1 April in the financial year in question.
(2) The Secretary of State shall determine an amount which he is satisfied is or approximates to an amount which the former maintaining authority could have determined, by the application (subject to the following provisions of this regulation) of the allocation formula in their scheme in relation to a comparable maintained school covered by the scheme, as such a school’s budget share for the financial year in question.
(3) Where—
(a)at any time before the beginning of the financial year in question the allocation formula included provision for taking into account a particular characteristic of a school which will affect the needs of the school as distinct from those of other schools which do not share that characteristic; and
(b)the scheme has been varied or replaced at any time before the relevant date in relation to the school as initially determined (whether that is the date specified in regulation 17(1) or such other date as may be determined in accordance with regulation 17(2)), and for the financial year in question—
(i)no such provision is included in the allocation formula; or
(ii)the proportion of a comparable maintained school’s budget share derived from the application of that provision would be less than it would have been had the scheme not been varied or replaced,
the allocation formula shall be deemed, for the purposes of determining the amount under paragraph (2), to include such provision as it had effect immediately before the scheme was so varied or replaced:
Provided that the Secretary of State shall add to, or subtract from, any sum derived from the application of the said provision such amount as appears to him to be fair and reasonable having regard to any increase or decrease in the actual or planned level of spending of the former maintaining authority in respect of schools maintained by them occurring during or since the preceding financial year.
(4) Where—
(a)by the application of the allocation formula a part of a school’s budget share is determined by reference to—
(i)an amount of expenditure attributable to each registered pupil of each relevant age or falling within each relevant age group;
(ii)an amount or amounts (as the case may be) of expenditure attributable to any unit of measurement adopted for any factor included in the allocation formula; or
(iii)the amount or amounts (as the case may be) of expenditure attributable to any other such factor; and
(b)the proportion that any such amount is of a comparable maintained school’s budget share is less in the financial year in question than it would have been in a previous financial year,
the amount or amounts of expenditure so attributable shall be deemed by the Secretary of State, in applying the allocation formula for the purpose of determining the amount under paragraph (2), to be the amount or amounts determined in accordance with paragraph (5).
(5) For the purposes of paragraph (4), the Secretary of State shall determine as the amount or amounts of expenditure so attributable for the purposes of the allocation formula the amount or amounts so attributable in such previous financial year as the Secretary of State shall decide, adjusted by such amount or amounts as appears or appear to him to be fair and reasonable having regard, in particular, to—
(a)any increase or decrease in the actual or planned level of spending of the former maintaining authority in respect of schools maintained by them occurring during or since that year; and
(b)any significant change in the characteristics of the school occurring as aforesaid or which it appears to the Secretary of State will be likely to occur before the end of the financial year in relation to which grant is being determined.
(6) Subject to paragraphs (7), (8) and (9), references in this Part to a maintained school are references to a school maintained by the former maintaining authority concerned, and references to a comparable maintained school are references to a maintained county school, any characteristics of which relevant for the purposes of any formula of a kind referred to in paragraph (2) are identical to any such characteristics of the grant-maintained school and are references (in particular) to a school—
(a)the number of registered pupils in each age group at which is identical to the number of such pupils in each age group at the grant-maintained school; and
(b)any other factors affecting the needs of which (including in particular, the number of registered pupils at the school who have special educational needs and the nature of the special educational provision required to be made for them) are identical to any other factors affecting the needs of the grant-maintained school.
(7) Where the allocation formula includes provision for taking into account the amount of any non-domestic rate payable in respect of a school, the Secretary of State shall, in applying the allocation formula for the purpose of determining the amount under paragraph (2), apply that provision as if the amount of the non-domestic rate payable was—
(a)in the case of a school which was a charity before becoming a grant-maintained school, that payable in respect of a comparable maintained school which is a charity; and
(b)in the case of a school which was not a charity before becoming a grant-maintained school, that payable in respect of a comparable maintained school which is not a charity.
(8) For the purposes of this regulation, it is to be assumed that there is a comparable maintained school covered by the former maintaining authority’s scheme whether or not there is in fact such a school; and, for the purposes of paragraph (7), it is to be further assumed that a comparable maintained school is capable of being a charity.
(9) In this regulation—
“charity” means an institution established for charitable purposes only;
“factor” means, in relation to the allocation formula, any circumstance, fact or matter affecting the needs of individual schools and subject to variation from school to school which is to be taken into account in accordance with the allocation formula; and

6.—(1) In any case where the school’s incorporation date falls before the financial year in question, the Secretary of State may if he thinks fit, instead of determining an amount under regulation 5(2), determine an amount in accordance with paragraph (4).
(2) Subject to paragraph (3), the Secretary of State shall consult the former maintaining authority and the governing body of the school before deciding whether, pursuant to paragraph (1), to determine an amount in accordance with paragraph (4).
(3) Paragraph (2) shall not apply in any case where it appears to the Secretary of State that, in relation to the financial year in question, a comparable maintained school’s budget share, determined by the application of the allocation formula in the former maintaining authority’s scheme, would have been determined wholly or mainly by reference to expenditure (whether actual, estimated, notional or otherwise characterised) for the purposes of that school in a previous financial year.
(4) Where the Secretary of State decides to determine an amount in accordance with this paragraph he shall determine an amount by—
(a)taking the amount which—
