9. Revenue Payments The DfE are introducing a new indicator on the Schools Census in Oct 2014 which will enable schools to state how many newly eligible are taking up a school meal. Schools will be notified of their provisional full year revenue funding allocation for the 2014-15 academic year in June 2014, pending information from the DfE, with the first payment being made in September 2014. This will provide funding for the Autumn 2014 and Spring 2015 terms. This allocation will be based upon pupil data from the January 2014 School Census as well as assumptions that: 87% of newly eligible pupils will take up meals and those pupils will take 190 school meals in the course of a full academic year This provisional allocation will be revised later in the academic year based on actual take-up data derived from an average of the October 2014 and January 2015 School Censuses and the Summer term payment will be adjusted accordingly based upon the actual take-up above or below the 87%
