(1) In the case of a school which becomes a grant-maintained school on or after 1st April in the financial year in question pursuant to proposals published under section 49 of the 1993 Act, the formula in regulation 11 (school meals) shall apply but “S” shall be the number of registered pupils at the school who bought meals at the school on a date in the financial year in question (which may be no later than a date in the second term of the school year) determined by the funding authority.
(2) Without prejudice to regulation 28 (adjustments), until such time as the funding authority are able to determine an amount by the application of the formula in regulation 11, as modified by this regulation, having regard to the date determined by them for the purposes of “S”, the funding authority shall determine such amount (“the estimated amount”) in respect of the provision of school meals as appears to them to be fair and reasonable and if the amount subsequently determined in accordance with the said formula is different from the estimated amount, they may revise their determination accordingly (whether or not this reduces the amount of maintenance grant payable in respect of the school for the financial year in question).
