The Education (Grants) (Music and Ballet Schools) Regulations 1989

Aid questions

6.—(1) Subject to sub-paragraph (2), in the case of each aided pupil questions whether aid should be granted as hereinafter provided by way of–

(a) remission of fees or charges, or

(b) grants,

shall be determined by the school for the school year in which he takes up an aided place and for each subsequent school year by reference to the relevant income as respects the pupil, whether or not the parents have been entitled to any aid as respects a previous school year; and such questions and aid are hereinafter referred to, respectively, as “aid questions” and “aid”.

(2) Where either–

(a) the pupil holds an aided place at the school for part only of the school year or leaves the school part way through the school year, or

(b) the number of children of the parents who hold aided places (whether at the same or different schools) differs for different parts of the school year,

aid questions shall be determined by the school for that part, or separately for those parts, and the extent to which designated fees (within the meaning of paragraph 12) in respect of part of a school year are to be remitted shall be that proportion of the amount by which the fees for the whole school year would fall to be remitted which is the proportion which the fees for the part bear to the fees for the whole school year.
