Answer

The Common Funding Scheme (CFS) sets the overarching framework within which schools are funded under the Common Funding Formula and how they can, in certain circumstances, access central funds from the Education Authority, as funding authority for grant-aided schools.

A link to the CFS can be accessed on the Department’s website.
