Paragraph 18

Amounts payable to a new school established as the result of the discontinuance of one or more maintained schools to reflect the extent to which a school which has been discontinued has spent more than or has not spent all its budget share (within the meaning of the 1996 or the 1998 Act) in any financial year. Any such factor or criteria must provide that any amount deducted shall not exceed the amount which the school receives during the financial year as part of its budget share by virtue of being a new school.
