For decile over 5, there is not much difference in funding between if there is 1-2 points different.
So for example, change from 10 to 9 , difference of $29 per pupil - really a small amount of money.
below:
A 'step change' is further division of the lower four deciles into three deciles each. Thus, creating 12 sub-classifications at these deciles. A school with 'step A' classification at decile 1 gets $905.81 per pupil whereas a school with 'step C' classification at the same decile gets $731.30. The table below shows the breakdown of the targeted funding, including the 'step classification'.
Decile | Step | Per pupil amount | Decile 1 | A | $905.81 | Decile 1 | B | $842.11 | Decile 1 | C | $731.30 | Decile 2 | D | $617.80 | Decile 2 | E | $507.01 | Decile 2 | F | $420.54 | Decile 3 | G | $350.25 | Decile 3 | H | $277.32 | Decile 3 | I | $220.59 | Decile 4 | J | $182.74 | Decile 4 | K | $149.99 | Decile 4 | L | $135.12 | Decile 5 | M | $115.76 | Decile 6 | N | $93.71 | Decile 7 | O | $71.64 | Decile 8 | P | $46.86 | Decile 9 | Q | $28.93 | Decile 10 | Z | 0 |
