View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 454 to 458, inclusive, together. Capitation grants are paid to primary schools in two instalments. The first moiety is usually paid in January and comprises 70% of the total capitation due to a school in the year. The Deputy should note that as school enrolment data for the previous 30th September is not fully validated at that time, the grant calculations are based on a school's enrolment in the previous school year. The second moiety is paid in June and comprises the balance due, some 30%, and takes into account any variation in a school's enrolment on the previous 30th September. A table sets out the capitation rates requested by the Deputy.
