school budgets and/or the level of funding held centrally (preferably by
month of birth and gender):

allocated for a specific pupil (identifiable) and a contribution towards
the support costs made from the schools own delegated budgets.  However,
these delegated budgets are to support all pupils with SEN, statemented or
