Paragraph 4
For the purpose of the formula in paragraph 2(1), “c” is
the number appearing to the Secretary of State to be the number of registered pupils at the school on 15th January 1998; or
in the case of a special school, the number of places for which the school is funded under the authority’s scheme for the financial year beginning on 1st April 1998, or
where proposals published under section 259 or 260 of the 1996 Act to make a significant change in the character of the school were—
implemented wholly or partly in that financial year, and
not funded under regulation 22 of the 1998 Regulations,
such number of pupils determined by the Secretary of State, having consulted the local education authority, being a composite number based on a proportion of the number of registered pupils at the school on 15th January 1998 and a proportion of the number which the Secretary of State estimates will be at the school at a later date in the financial year beginning on 1st April 1998 determined by him.
