Discretionary and Tied Allocations

Each SRP element allocates to schools funds which are either tied or discretionary. 

Tied allocation funds are made available to schools on the basis that they are used for a specified purpose. 

In contrast, discretionary allocations may be used in line with the priorities set by the school management.
