The amount of capitation grant paid to a particular primary school is determined by the number of pupils validly enrolled in the school at the 30 September of the school year in question, subject to a minimum grant being paid to schools with enrolments of less than 60 pupils. In the case of schools with enrolments of 60 or more pupils, partial grants are paid in respect of pupils enrolled after 30 September, provided the pupils concerned were not enrolled and included for capitation purposes in another school in that school year.
