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

Deemed primary schools and deemed secondary schools

52.—(1) This regulation applies in the case of a school referred to in regulation 39(1)(b) or (d) (middle school deemed to be a primary or secondary school).

(2) Subject to regulation 54 (transfer of site), where it appears to the funding authority that the amount of maintenance grant determined in respect of a school to which this regulation applies for the financial year in question is insufficient because of the nature of such a school to enable the governing body of the school adequately to carry out their functions with respect to the conduct of the school, they may after consultation with the local education authority and the governing body of the school redetermine the amount of maintenance grant payable in respect of the school for the year by adding to it such amount as appears to them to be fair and reasonable for the purpose of enabling the governing body adequately to carry out their functions with respect to the conduct of the school.

(3) Where the funding authority revise the amount of maintenance grant payable in respect of any school for the financial year in question in accordance with this regulation they shall give notice thereof to the governing body of the school and to the local education authority.
