Determination of a school’s CFF share42

1

The funding authority shall determine for each grant-maintained and new grant-maintained secondary school situated in the area of a secondary relevant authority and each secondary school and new secondary school maintained by that authority the amount of the school’s share of the secondary schools total for that authority and year obtained by dividing that total between those schools in accordance with Schedule 5.

2

a

The funding authority shall determine for each primary relevant authority an amount referred to in this Part as the “adjusted primary schools total”.

b

This is the amount which remains after deducting from the primary schools total for the authority for that year 0.2 per cent of that total (“the error contingency”) for the purpose of making provision within that total for redetermining the amounts of the CFF shares of grant-maintained and new grant-maintained primary schools situated in the area of the authority and primary schools and new primary schools maintained by the authority on the grounds referred to in regulation 53(1) (redetermination of a primary school’s CFF share on grounds of mistake).

The funding authority shall determine for each grant-maintained and new grant-maintained primary school situated in the area of a primary relevant authority and each primary school and new primary school maintained by that authority the amount of the school’s share of the adjusted primary schools total for that authority and year obtained by dividing that total between those schools in accordance with Schedule 5.

4

Where the amount of the CFF share of a school is less than the CFF floor for that school the funding authority shall—

a

calculate the amount per pupil (within the meaning of paragraph 16A to F of Schedule 5) which would be required, if—

i

in the case of a secondary school, the amount of the CFF share of each grant-maintained or new grant-maintained secondary school situated in the area of the relevant authority concerned and each secondary school or new secondary school maintained by them, or

ii

in the case of a primary school, the amount of the CFF share of each grant-maintained or new grant-maintained primary school situated in the area of the relevant authority concerned and each primary school and new primary school maintained by them,

were to be redetermined in accordance with that Schedule (but substituting for the amount per pupil referred to in that paragraph in relation to the authority the recalculated amount per pupil), to produce within the adjusted primary schools total or the secondary schools total, as the case may be, for the authority for the financial year in question the amount (referred to below as the “supplementary amount”) required to permit the amount of the CFF share of each school which is less than the amount of its CFF floor or which would be less than that amount if the amount of the CFF share of each school were to be redetermined as aforesaid, to equal the amount of the school’s CFF floor, by adding a share of the supplementary amount to the amount of the school’s CFF share;

b

redetermine the amount of the CFF share of each grant-maintained or new grant-maintained primary or secondary school situated in the area of the relevant authority concerned and each primary or secondary school or new primary or new secondary school maintained by them, as the case may be, in accordance with Schedule 5 but substituting for the amount per pupil referred to in paragraph 16A to F of that Schedule the amount calculated in accordance with sub-paragraph (a) above; and

c

add to the amount of the CFF share (as so redetermined) of each school which is less than the amount of its CFF floor the amount by which the latter amount exceeds the former amount.
