(2) The Amount must include, on a net basis —

(a) an allocation by the local education authority in respect of that school’s provision for pupils over compulsory school age for the financial year in question in accordance with the conditions of grant payable to the local education authority by the National Council under s36 of the 2000 Act (“the Grant”);

(b) any amount which the local education authority provides for education of pupils over compulsory school age.
