England and Wales Not yet in force
For the purposes of section 52(3)(b) of the 1998 Act, a budget statement is published by—
supplying a copy to the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families; and
making a copy available for inspection at all reasonable times and free of charge—
at the offices of the local education authority, and
on a website maintained by the local education authority and accessible to the public.
The first budget statement must be published before the beginning of funding period 1; the second before the beginning of funding period 2; and the third before the beginning of funding period 3.
A budget statement published under paragraph (2) may not be revised after publication except—
to correct errors contained in it; or
to reflect a redetermination under regulation 12 of the 2008 Regulations (redetermination of schools budgets and individual schools budgets).
Where a local education authority revise a budget statement under paragraph (3), they must ensure that any revised budget statement is in the appropriate form as prescribed in regulation 4, and is published in the manner prescribed in paragraph (1).
A local education authority must provide the governing body and head teacher of each school maintained by them with a copy of Parts 1, 2 and 4 of the first, second and third budget statements before the beginning of funding period 1, 2 and 3, as the case may be.
Where the governing body or head teacher of a school request a copy of Part 3 of any budget statement to which these Regulations relate, a local education authority must provide them with a copy of that Part.
