Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(1)

Where, in the case of any school whose maintenance grant for the financial year in question falls to be determined under this Part, it appears to the funding authority that regulation 10 (cash protection) would have applied if that grant had fallen to be determined under Part 2, they shall determine the amount which would have been determined in accordance with regulation 10 in respect of the school (referred to in paragraph (2) below as “the protected amount”).

(2)

In any case to which paragraph (1) applies the funding authority shall add to the amount of the CFF share for the school the amount by which the protected amount exceeds the difference between the amount of that share and the CFF floor.

(3)

Where, in the case of any school whose maintenance grant for the financial year in question falls to be determined under this Part, it appears to the funding authority that an amount would have been determined under regulation 9 (Section 11 funding) if that grant had fallen to be determined under Part 2, they shall determine that amount and add it to the amount of the CFF share for the school.

(4)

Where, in the case of any school whose maintenance grant for the financial year in question falls to be determined under this Part, it appears to the funding authority that the amount determined under regulation 6, if that grant had fallen to be determined under Part 2, would have included an amount representing a comparable maintained school’s share of funding treated by the authority under their scheme as funding for—

(a)

pupils with statements of special educational needs allocated in accordance with the allocation formula under the authority’s scheme;

(b)

in the case of Cumbria County Council only, identified pupils with special educational needs who do not have statements and in respect of whom funding is allocated other than on the basis referred to in paragraph 7(8) of Schedule 4; or

(c)

places in schools, other than special schools, for pupils with special educational needs,

they shall determine that latter amount and add it to the amount of the CFF share for the school.

(5)

The funding authority shall add to the amount of the CFF share of any school which became a grant-maintained school on 1st April in the financial year in question, an amount which appears to them to be equal or approximate to that amount of the school’s budget share for any financial year prior to the financial year in question in respect of which sums had neither been deducted by the maintaining local education authority in accordance with their scheme nor made available pursuant to section 36(2) or (3) of the 1988 Act, or, if made available, had not been spent by the governing body in exercise of their powers under section 36(5) of that Act.

(6)
(a)

The funding authority shall deduct from the amount of the CFF share of any school which became a grant-maintained school between 1st April 1995 and 1st April 1996 inclusive an amount determined in accordance with sub-paragraph (b) below.

(b)

The funding authority, having consulted the former maintaining local education authority and the governing body of the school, shall determine such amount, if any, as appears to them to be fair and reasonable, in respect of any deficit incurred by the school in respect of its budget share in any previous financial year, having regard, in particular, to the following matters—

(i)

the existence and the terms of any agreement in writing between the then governing body of the school and the maintaining local education authority regarding the repayment of such deficit,

(ii)

the existence in the maintaining local education authority’s scheme of provision permitting schools to anticipate their budget shares for the following year in order to finance planned items of expenditure,

(iii)

evidence that the maintaining local education authority took steps to reduce schools' budget shares where deficits have occurred and did not allow schools to carry over deficits from one year to the other with no planned reduction, and

(iv)

the amount, if any, previously determined by the funding authority in accordance with regulation 15(3), 16(3) or 30(10) of the 1995 Regulations.
