the amount so payable should be revised.
(6) In any case to which paragraph (3) applies, the funding authority may redetermine the amount of maintenance grant payable in respect of the school for the financial year in question by adding to it the amount calculated by the formula—
where—
Z is the amount which equals the difference between the amount of the CFF share for the school as determined in accordance with regulation 30(2) (or, where that amount has been redetermined for the purposes of redetermining the amount of maintenance grant in accordance with regulation 35(1), that amount as so redetermined) and the amount determined in accordance with paragraph (7); and
A is the number of days in the financial year falling on or after the date on which the proposals referred to in paragraph (3) fall to be implemented.
(7) For the purposes of paragraph (6) the funding authority shall—
(a)except where the school is situated in the area of a relevant authority referred to in sub-paragraph (b) below, redetermine the total number of funding units for the school in accordance with Schedule 4, substituting, where the proposals referred to in paragraph (3) fall to be implemented after 18th January 1996, for the estimated number of registered pupils at the school required to be determined in accordance with that Schedule the number which the funding authority estimate will be the number of registered pupils at the school on the date on which the proposals fall to be implemented;

(c)multiply the total number of funding units for the school redetermined in accordance with sub-paragraph (a) or (b) above (as the case may be) by the amount per pupil for the relevant authority in whose area the school is situated determined in relation to that authority in accordance with Schedule 4 (or, where that amount has been recalculated in accordance with regulation 30(3)(c), that amount as so recalculated) for the purposes of the initial determination of maintenance grant for the school for the financial year in question.
(8) The funding authority may redetermine the amount of maintenance grant payable in respect of the school for the financial year in question—
(a)in any case to which paragraph (2) applies, by adding such amount as appears to them would have been payable to the school under the relevant authority’s scheme, had the school been covered by the scheme, in relation to such increases;

(10) Where it appears to the funding authority that, by reason of any extraordinary circumstances, the amount of maintenance grant determined in respect of a school for the financial year in question is insufficient to enable the governing body of the school adequately to carry out their functions with respect to the conduct of the school, they may redetermine the amount of maintenance grant payable in respect of the school for that year in accordance with paragraph (11).
(11) Where the funding authority decide to redetermine the amount of maintenance grant by virtue of paragraph (10), they shall redetermine that amount by adding it to such amount as appears to them to be necessary for the purpose of enabling the governing body adequately to carry out their functions with respect to the conduct of the school.
(12) The funding authority shall adjust the amount of maintenance grant payable in respect of any schools for the financial year in question by such amount, if any, as appears to them to be fair and reasonable, having consulted the relevant authority, to take into account any transfer of an amount of funding in respect of a pupil pursuant to section 262 of the 1993 Act.
