Calculation of a school’s CFF share in existing secondary CFF areas : Authorities which use estimates of pupil numbers

16A.—(1) Sub-paragraphs (2) to (5) shall not apply in respect of new schools.

(2) Where the number, which appears to the funding authority to be the number of registered pupils in a particular age band at the school on the date for adjustment of last year’s estimates, differs from the number of registered pupils of that particular age band which it was estimated for the purposes of determining the amount of that school’s annual maintenance grant or budget share, as the case may be, in the preceding financial year, would be at the school on that date then the funding authority shall, subject to sub-paragraph (5), determine an amount in respect of each such category of pupils by—

(a) subtracting that estimated number from that actual number of registered pupils and multiplying the resulting amount by the amount specified in relation to the authority in whichever is the appropriate of column (1), (2), (3) or (4) in the table in Part VII in relation to that age band and by 7/12;

(b) multiplying the number calculated in accordance with (a) above by the “amount per pupil” used in respect of the school under the 1996 Regulations;

(c) subtracting from or adding to, as appropriate, the amount calculated in accordance with (b) above such amount, if any, as appears to them to be fair and reasonable, having consulted the authority, to take into account any transfer of an amount of funding in respect of a pupil pursuant to section 494 of the 1996 Act;

(d) subtracting from the amount calculated in accordance with (c) above any amount previously made available for the purposes of the school because of an increase in the number of registered pupils in that age band at the school; and

(e) subtracting from the amount calculated in accordance with (d) above any amount determined in respect of the school under regulation 45(7) of the 1996 Regulations in relation to that age band.

(3) (a) If after performing the operation in sub-paragraph (2)(c) above, the result is a positive number then the amount determined under sub-paragraph (2) is either the amount which results from carrying out the operation in sub-paragraph (2)(e) above or zero whichever is the greater.

(b) If after performing the operation in sub-paragraph (2)(c) above, the result is a negative number then the amount determined under sub-paragraph (2) is the amount which results from carrying out the operation in sub-paragraph (2)(e) above.

(4) For the purposes of this paragraph—

(a) the amount referred to in respect of each school as “the 1996–97 CFF floor” is the amount determined in respect of each school under regulation 48(1);

(b) the amount referred to in respect of each school as “the pure 1996-97 CFF share” is the amount calculated in respect of each school under regulation 40(1) or (2)(b) of the 1996 Regulations (as the case may be);

(c) the amount referred to in respect of each school as “the deviation from the CFF floor” is the amount which equals the 1996–97 CFF floor less the pure 1996–97 CFF share(1).

(5) The funding authority shall, in a case where regulation 43(11) of the 1996 Regulations applied, reduce the aggregate of the amounts determined under sub-paragraph (5) in respect of the school to zero and otherwise shall—

(a) in a case where the aggregate of the amounts determined under sub-paragraph (2) in respect of the school is greater than the deviation from the CFF floor and the deviation from the CFF floor is greater than zero reduce that aggregate amount by a sum equal to the deviation from the CFF floor;

(b) in a case where the aggregate of the amounts determined under sub-paragraph (2) in respect of the school is either—

(i) greater than zero and less than the deviation from the CFF floor, or

(ii) less than zero and the deviation from the CFF floor is greater than zero, reduce that aggregate amount to zero;

(c) in a case where the aggregate of the amounts determined under sub-paragraph (2) in respect of the school is less than the deviation from the CFF floor and the deviation from the CFF floor is less than zero, redetermine that aggregate amount to be equal to the deviation from the CFF floor.

(6) The funding authority shall determine the number (referred to in sub-paragraph (7) as the “total number of secondary base units for the authority”) which is the aggregate of the number of base units for each school determined under that part of Part I applicable to the authority.

(7) The funding authority shall determine the amount (referred to in sub-paragraph (8) as the “amount per pupil”) obtained by dividing the secondary schools total for the authority, less the aggregate for the authority of the amounts determined under sub-paragraph (2) in respect of each school, by the total number of secondary base units for the authority.

(8) The funding authority shall determine the amount (referred to in sub-paragraph (9) as the “number of funding units for the school”) obtained by adding to the figure which is the number of base units for the school the amount, if any, which is equal to the aggregate of the amounts determined under sub-paragraph (2) in respect of the school divided by the amount per pupil.

(9) The funding authority shall determine as the amount of each school’s CFF share the amount obtained by multiplying the amount per pupil by the number of funding units for the school.

B.—(1) Paragraph (2) shall not apply in respect of new schools.

(2) Where the number, which appears to the funding authority, to be the number of registered pupils in a particular age band at the school on the date for adjustment of last year’s estimates, differs from the number of registered pupils of that particular age band which it was estimated, for the purposes of determining the amount of that school’s annual maintenance grant or budget share, as the case may be, in the preceding financial year, would be at the school on that date then the funding authority shall determine an amount in respect of such category of pupils by—

(a) subtracting that estimated number from that actual number of registered pupils and multiplying the resulting amount by the amount specified in relation to the authority in whichever is the appropriate of column (1), (2), (3) or (4) in table 1 in Schedule 6 in relation to that age band and by 7/12;

(b) multiplying the number calculated in accordance with (a) above by the age band 3 unit cost for the authority in column (5) in table 1 in Schedule 6;

(c) subtracting from, or adding to, as appropriate, the amount calculated in accordance with (b) above such amount, if any, as appears to the funding authority to be fair and reasonable, having consulted the authority, to take into account any transfer of an amount of funding in respect of a pupil pursuant to section 494 of the 1996 Act;

(d) subtracting from the amount calculated in accordance with (c) above any amount previously made available for the purposes of the school because of an increase in the number of registered pupils in that age band at the school; and

(e) subtracting from the amount calculated in accordance with (d) above any amount determined in respect of the school under regulation 45(7) of the 1996 Regulations in relation to that age band.

(3) (a) If after performing the operation in sub-paragraph (2)(c) above, the result is a positive number then the amount determined under sub-paragraph (2) is either the amount which results from carrying out the operation in sub-paragraph (2)(e) above or zero whichever is the greater.

(b) If after performing the operation in sub-paragraph (2)(c) above, the result is a negative number then the amount determined under sub-paragraph (2) is the amount which results from carrying out the operation in sub-paragraph (2)(e) above.

(4) The funding authority shall determine the number (referred to in sub-paragraph (5) as the “total number of secondary base units for the authority”) which is the aggregate of the number of base units for each school determined under that part of Part I applicable to the authority.

(5) The funding authority shall determine the amount (referred to in sub-paragraph (6) as the “amount per pupil”) obtained by dividing the secondary schools total for the authority, less the aggregate for the authority of the amounts for each category of pupils in each school determined under sub-paragraph (2), by the total number of secondary base units for the authority.

(6) The funding authority shall determine the amount (referred to in sub-paragraph (7) as the “number of funding units for the school”) obtained by adding to the figure which is the number of base units for the school the amount, if any, which is equal to the aggregate of the amounts determined under sub-paragraph (2) in respect of the school divided by the amount per pupil.

(7) The funding authority shall determine as the amount of each school’s CFF share the amount obtained by multiplying the amount per pupil by the number of funding units for the school.

(2) The funding authority shall determine an amount which is 0.8 per cent of the secondary schools total for the authority (“the total contingency amount”).

(3) The funding authority shall determine the amount (referred to in sub-paragraph (4) as the “amount per pupil”) obtained by dividing the adjusted secondary school’s total for the authority, less the total contingency amount defined in sub-paragraph (2), by the total number of funding units for the authority.

(4) The funding authority shall determine as the amount of each school’s CFF share the amount obtained by multiplying the amount per pupil by the number of funding units for the school.

(5) The funding authority shall determine an amount (referred to in sub-paragraph (6) as the “additional amount per pupil”) by dividing the total contingency amount by the aggregate of the numbers appearing to them to be the numbers of registered pupils referred to in paragraph 3B in Part III on 16th January 1997 at each grant-maintained secondary school in the area of the authority and each secondary school maintained by it.

(6) The funding authority shall add to the CFF share for each secondary school maintained by the authority an amount which is the number of registered pupils at the school on 16th January 1997 multiplied by the additional amount per pupil.

(7) The funding authority shall determine as the “GM contingency amount” the amount which is the difference between the aggregate of the amounts referred to in sub-paragraph (6) for each secondary school maintained by the authority and the total contingency amount.
