Why is the supplement relating to a deprivation factor in the funding formula worked out differently to the phased rollout of the extended hours?
The funding formula supplement for deprivation is calculated based on an assessment of the postcodes of children accessing the free entitlement at the setting. Including a factor of this kind is a compulsory element in the new funding formula. However, the phased rollout of the extended hours was based on the postcode of the setting alone.
