¹ Prior to 1990–91 the funding of voluntary grammar schools was determined on a school year basis (August to July). In 1990–91 the funding period was reduced to a eight months (August to March) so that, when local management of schools was introduced on 1 April 1991, funding would be on the same basis as for other schools (ie April to March).
