Regulation 10 Formula for determination of budget sharesI1

A local authority must determine before the beginning of a funding period, and after the consultation referred to in regulation 11, the formula which they will use to determine schools' budget shares in that funding period having regard to the factors, criteria and requirements set out in this Part of these Regulations.

A local authority must have regard to the desirability of such a formula being simple, objective, measurable, predictable in effect and clearly expressed.

A local authority may not use factors or criteria in their formula which make an allowance, in whole or in part, for any amount allocated to the school from any grant paid to the authority by the Welsh Ministers.

Subject to regulation 25 (additional arrangements approved by the Welsh Ministers) a local authority must use the formula determined under paragraph (1) in all determinations and redeterminations of budget shares.
