Capitation grants to primary schools are paid in two instalments. The first instalment is based on 70% of the grant due from enrolment figures for the previous school year (30 September 2009) and this payment will be made in January 2011. The second instalment is the balance due to the schools based on enrolment in the current school year (30 September 2010) and will be made in June 2011.
