Can I claim funding for a child that started after the October census day?
Unfortunately we don't have any local discretion over the pupil numbers that are used for funding. If it is a child starting in the main school rather than a nursery class we have to use the number of children on roll at October census day, so this child won't be counted in the pupil numbers used to calculate your next year's delegated budget. If the child is eligible for pupil premium you will get this funding as pupil premium is based on the January census, as long as the child is still with you at the time of the January census and they are flagged as eligible for pupil premium.
If you have a 2, 3 or 4 year old nursery child start with you after headcount and they have not previously claimed a funded early years place elsewhere in NY you can claim for the remaining weeks of the term that they attend.
Can we reclaim rental costs for ad-hoc use of additional premises?
Only schools in receipt of Exceptional Rent Funding (S251) are eligible for reimbursement
