does anyone know if the we will be paid monthly for the fudning we are due or for the whole yr then split it up ourselves. My concern is that I won't recieve enough each month to cover my wage bill whilst in months like July I'll have funding with no wages to pay so will just save it for the next month. I mean surely they should give us a head start a pay us for a few months. It's so silly.

i don't know if it varies from lea to lea, but i am paid in 2 equal halves per term , one payment at very end of preceeding term , and second half just prior to half term. Thus my receipts for the grant are in advance.

is this for the single funding formula

We get paid 70% at beginning of term and then remaining 30% close to the end of the term. This will continue when using SFF.

you would need to ask your LA as they will make payments differently
