Explanatory note

These regulations prescribe the categories of expenditure which the governing bodies of maintained schools may incur in respect of pupils registered at maintained schools other than the school undertaking the expenditure. The purpose of the regulations is to enable a maintained school to supply educational services and associated items to pupils of other schools using its own budget share rather than having to receive recompense from those other schools for such supply.

Under regulations made concurrently under section 47 of the School Standards and Framework Act 1998, local education authorities may include sums in a maintained school’s budget share in respect of provision made in accordance with these regulations.
