The two main grants paid by my Department to recognised schools are the Capitation grant to cater for day to day running costs such as heating, lighting, cleaning, insurance, general up-keep etc and the Ancillary Services grant to cater for the cost of employing ancillary services staff.
The enrolment in the individual schools is the main driver of grants paid.
The following links are the most recent circulars published on my Department's website which outline the rates in relation to capitation related grants.
