1 Committed sponsorship contributions represent agreed percentage contributions to CTC capital cash limits as secured in formal funding agreements with CTCs.

2 The sponsors commitment is stated net of the proceeds of sale of the site of the former school: the Exchequer contribution will be reduced by the amount of the proceeds of sale.

3 The confirmed contribution is net of the proceeds of sale of the former school site and of contributions to community provision and the chapel.

4 This figure includes the donation of the present site, which has been valued at £3.445 million.

5 In each case, LEA, local schools and other interests consulted on proposals to establish CTC.
