Regulation 4 Determination of amount of maintenance grant
The amount of maintenance grant payable for the financial year in question in respect of a school shall be the aggregate of the following amounts—
an amount (Direct AMG) determined in accordance with, as the case may be, regulation 5, 6 or 11;
an amount (Central AMG) determined in accordance with regulation 8 or that regulation as it has effect in accordance with regulation 12 (apportionment);
an amount determined in accordance with regulation 9 (Section 11 funding), regulation 10 (school meals, subject in the case of a school established in September in the financial year in question to apportionment under regulation 13), regulation 14 (contingencies) and regulation 15 (nursery education); and
(where applicable) an amount determined in accordance with regulations 16 and 17 (deductions representing excessive surpluses in previous year and excessive severance payments).
Where in the opinion of the funding authority precise calculation for the purpose of determining any of the amounts referred to in paragraph (1)—
would be impracticable;
would not significantly affect the amount; or
would be disproportionately costly having regard to the complexity of the calculation and the likely effect on the amount,
paragraph (1) shall have effect as if it required the funding authority to determine as the amount of maintenance grant payable for the financial year in question such amount as appears to them to be fair and reasonable having regard in particular to the local education authority’s scheme.
