pupils with special educational needs;
- arrangements for the use of pupil
referral units and the education of children otherwise than at
school;
- arrangements for early years
provision;
- arrangements for insurance;
- administrative arrangements for the
allocation of central government grants paid to schools via the
authority;
- arrangements for free school
meals.
