15. In determining budget shares for schools maintained by it (other than special schools, pupil referral units and nursery schools), a local authority must take into account in its formula one or more factors based on the incidence of social deprivation in pupils at the schools maintained by it.
(1) The authority must base the incidence of social deprivation referred to in paragraph (1) on one or both of the following—
(a)a pupil’s eligibility for free school meals on 2nd October 2014 or a pupil’s eligibility for free school meals recorded in any school census between and including Summer 2008 and Spring 2014;
(b)a pupil’s IDACI score on 2nd October 2014,
and where it is based on an IDACI score the authority may use factors which differentiate between different IDACI bands (that is, groupings of IDACI scores published by the Department for Education in the document named “Schools Block Dataset Technical Specification: 2015 to 2016”(1)).
(2) In determining budget shares under paragraph (1), the authority may take into account in its formula a single per pupil amount for each socially deprived pupil in reception classes and at key stage 1 and 2, and a single per pupil amount for each socially deprived pupil at key stage 3 and 4.
