NAFWC31/06 - Guidance on Welsh Assembly Government Key Stages 2-3 Transition Grant

SUMMARY

This Circular provides guidance on the criteria for the use of Welsh Assembly Government grant to improve transition from Key Stages 2-3. The grant will be made available to local education authorities in 2006-07 and the following two financial years. The intention is that grant should support the development of exemplar projects which have the capacity to become self sufficient and can be replicated elsewhere.

The guidance sets out the arrangements for the distribution of the grant, the approval of proposals and the audit arrangements.

The grant for 2006-07 will be paid to local education authorities (LEAs) before the start of the September 2006 school year. Authorities will be notified of their respective funding levels for 2007-08 and 2008-09 in due course.
