6. Could you please inform me as to whether it is the authority or the schools that fund alternative provision for children designated as Code B? If the authority pays for alternative provision does the school cease to receive funding for that child?
When a school chooses to provide off site educational activity (code B) then they will be responsible from their Age Weighted Pupil Unit – the sum of money allocated to the school for each pupil according to their age.
