The Education (Grant-maintained and Grant-maintained Special Schools) (Finance) Regulations 1997

Determination of amount of maintenance grant

41.—(1) The amount of maintenance grant payable for the financial year in question in respect of a school whose maintenance grant falls to be determined under this Part shall be the aggregate of the amount of the school’s CFF share for that year and any amounts to be added to, or deducted from, that amount determined by the funding authority in respect of the school and that year in accordance with regulations 43(1)(c) and 44 to 47.

(2) Where in the opinion of the funding authority precise calculation for the purpose of determining any of the amounts referred to in paragraph (1)—

(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 funding authority to determine as the amount of maintenance grant payable for the financial year in question such amount as appears to them to be fair and reasonable having regard in particular to the relevant authority’s scheme.
