The Education (Grant-maintained and Grant-maintained Special Schools) (Finance) Regulations 1995

Determination of amount of maintenance grant

5.—(1) Subject to regulation 17, the amount of maintenance grant payable for the financial year in question in respect of a school whose maintenance grant falls to be determined under this Part shall be the sum of the following amounts—

(a) an amount determined in accordance with (as the case may be) regulation 6, 7, 8 or 9;

(b) an amount determined in accordance with regulation 10 (or that regulation as it has effect in accordance with regulation 11 or 12);

(c) an amount determined in accordance with regulation 13(1); and

(d) (where applicable) an amount determined in accordance with regulations 14, 15 and 16.

(2) Where in the opinion of the funding authority precise calculation for the purpose of determining any of the amounts referred to in paragraph (1)—

(a) would be impracticable;

(b) would not significantly affect the amount; or

(c) 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.
