Just because a project has been taken account of in calculating the ACG, it does not mean that the LEA has to use its BCA for that purpose. 4 Supplementary Credit Approval (SCA): Unlike BCA, receipts are not taken into account when calculating the level of SCA. However, unless the SCA specifically says otherwise, the LEA is not obliged to use the SCA for the purpose for which it was calculated. 5 New Deal for Schools (NDS): Some of the grant figures for VA schools would have changed slightly in order to reflect the actual costs of the project. 6 National Grid for Learning and Security in Schools: While the majority of the expenditure supported by the grant will be capital in nature, some will be revenue. It is not possible to isolate the two elements. 7 VA Grant: Capital grant is paid in respect of Governors' liability, at a rate of 85 per cent. Actual amount of grant paid may change depending on the costs of project on tender. 8 Not available. 9 Not applicable. Note:
The following initiatives had not been established in 1997–98: Toilets, Energy, Class Sizes and National Grid for Learning.
