Funding for primary and post-primary schools is dealt with on a per capita basis. The two main grants 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 services staff.

Schools are permitted to regard the capitation and ancillary grant as a combined grant.

The following are links to the most recent circulars published on my Department's website in relation to capitation and ancillary grants:
