13.—(1) In determining budget shares for primary and secondary schools, except in respect of nursery classes a local authority must ascertain and take into account in their formula the number of pupils at those schools in accordance with paragraph (2) on the date specified in paragraph (3).

(b)the actual total numbers of hours of such attendance for the period.
(6) Within 28 days of making any redetermination pursuant to paragraph (2) or (4) the local authority must give notice of the redetermination and the date on which it will be implemented to the governing body of the school, the relevant early years provider, or the exempt early years provider concerned, within 28 days of the redetermination.

(ii)where the permanent exclusion takes effect on or after 1st April in a school year(3) at the end of which pupils of the same age, or age group, as the pupil in question normally leave that school before being admitted to another school with a different pupil age range, the number of complete weeks remaining in that school year calculated from the relevant date; and
(c)C is the amount of the adjustment made to the school’s budget share pursuant to a financial adjustment order.

(2) A local authority may redetermine a school’s budget share to take into account any changes in that school’s non-domestic rate liability in relation to the funding period or any previous funding period.
(3) In so far as any redetermination under paragraph (1) would require the amount that would otherwise have been the budget share of a school to be reduced, it may not be reduced to a figure which is lower than that which could have been allocated to that school under the Regulations in force during the funding period in which the error occurred.
25.—(1) Subject to paragraph (2), on application by a local authority, the Secretary of State may authorise the authority to—
(a)disregard the limits referred to in paragraph 5 of Schedule 2 when deducting any expenditure referred to in regulation 8(3) (Central Services expenditure);
