  • (11) Where the funding authority decide to redetermine the amount of maintenance grant by virtue of paragraph (10), they shall redetermine that amount by adding it to such amount as appears to them to be necessary for the purpose of enabling the governing body adequately to carry out their functions with respect to the conduct of the school.
  • (12) The funding authority shall adjust the amount of maintenance grant payable in respect of any schools for the financial year in question by such amount, if any, as appears to them to be fair and reasonable, having consulted the relevant authority, to take into account any transfer of an amount of funding in respect of a pupil pursuant to section 262 of the 1993 Act.

  • (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 2, 3, 4 or 5 in the Table in Schedule 5 in relation to that age band and by the proportion of that preceding year in respect of which pupil numbers were estimated (expressed as a fraction in the entry for the authority in column 1 in the Table in Schedule 5);
  • (b) multiplying the sum of the numbers calculated in accordance with sub-paragraph (a) above by the “amount per pupil” used in respect of the school under the 1994 Regulations; and
  • (c) subtracting from the amount calculated in accordance with sub-paragraph (b) above any amount previously made available for the purposes of the school because of an increase in the number of registered pupils at the school.

5

  • (1) For the purpose of this paragraph—
  • (a) the amount referred to in respect of each school as “the 1994-95 CFF floor” is the amount determined in respect of each school under regulation 31(5) or (6) (as the case may be);
  • (b) the amount referred to in respect of each school as “the pure 1994-95 CFF share” is the amount calculated in respect of each school under regulation 25(2) or (3)(ii) of the 1994 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 1994-95 CFF floor less the pure 1994-95 CFF share. (Where a school’s pure 1994-95 CFF share is less than its 1994-95 CFF floor this figure will be positive, and where the pure 1994-95 CFF share is greater than the 1994-95 CFF floor this figure will be negative.)
  • (2) The funding authority shall—
  • (a) in the case where the amount determined under paragraph 4(c) is greater than the deviation from the CFF floor and the deviation from the CFF floor is greater than zero reduce the amount determined under paragraph 4(c) by a sum equal to the deviation from the CFF floor;
  • (b) in the case where the amount determined under paragraph 4(c) 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 the amount determined under paragraph 4(c) to zero;
  • (c) in the case where the amount determined under paragraph 4(c) is less than the deviation from the CFF floor and the deviation from the CFF floor is less than zero, redetermine the amount determined under paragraph 4(c) to be equal to the deviation from the CFF floor.

6

The funding authority shall determine the number which is the aggregate of the aggregate numbers determined in accordance with paragraph 3(1) (referred to in paragraph 7 as the “total number of base units for the authority”).

7

The funding authority shall determine the amount (referred to in paragraph 8 as the “amount per pupil”) obtained by dividing the adjusted secondary schools total for the authority less the aggregate of the amounts determined under paragraph 4(c) by the total number of base units for the authority.

8

The funding authority shall determine the amount (referred to in paragraph 9 as the “number of funding units for the school”) obtained by adding to the figure determined under paragraph 3(1) the amount which is equal to the figure determined under paragraph 4(c) 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 total number of funding units for the school.

In this Part—

  • “the authority” means the London Borough of Hillingdon; and

3

  • (a) the number appearing to them to be the number of registered pupils at the school on 19th January 1995 in age band 3 i.e. who had not attained the age of 14 on 31st August 1994, multiplied by 5/12;
  • (b) the number which the funding authority estimate will be the number of registered pupils at the school on 19th September 1995 in age band 3 i.e. who will not have attained the age of 14 on 31st August 1995, multiplied by 7/12;
  • (c) the aggregate of the numbers calculated in accordance with sub-paragraphs (a) and (b) above;
  • (d) the number appearing to them to be the number of registered pupils at the school on 19th January 1995 in age band 4 i.e. aged 14 or 15 on 31st August 1994, multiplied by 5/12;
  • (e) the number which the funding authority estimate will be the number of registered pupils at the school on 19th September 1995 in age band 4 i.e. aged 14 or 15 on 31st August 1995, multiplied by 7/12;
  • (f) the aggregate of the numbers calculated in accordance with sub-paragraphs (d) and (e) above multiplied by 1.05;
  • (g) the number appearing to them to be the number of registered pupils at the school on 19th January 1995 in age band 5 i.e. aged 16 or over on 31st August 1994, multiplied by 5/12;
  • (h) the number which the funding authority estimate will be the number of registered pupils at the school on 19th September 1995 in age band 5 i.e. aged 16 or over on 31st August 1995, multiplied by 7/12;
  • (i) the aggregate of the numbers calculated in accordance with sub-paragraphs (g) and (h) above multiplied by 1.42;

  • (m) the aggregate of
