Calculating operational funding: The resourcing roll
New entrant adjustment and factor
The resourcing roll for primary and composite schools includes a new entrant adjustment.
This adjustment applies a new entrant factor to the year 1 roll with the result rounded up
to the nearest whole number. This calculation is used to estimate the number of new entrants
likely to enrol between the date of the roll being used and 10 October. This means that:
- Where a March roll is used a new entrant factor of eleven-twelfths is
applied rounded up to the nearest whole number.
- Where a July roll is used a new entrant factor of five-eighteenths is
applied rounded up to the nearest whole number.
