(1)[F1Section 22(1)(a) and (b)][F2, 25 and 25A] do not apply to the admission of pupils to any establishment (a “single-sex establishment”) which admits pupils of one sex only, or which would be taken to admit pupils of one sex only if there were disregarded pupils of the opposite sex—

(b)whose numbers are comparatively small and whose admission is confined to particular courses of instruction or teaching classes.

(3)Where an establishment is a a single-sex establishment by reason of its inclusion in subsection (1)(b), the fact that pupils of one sex are confined to particular courses of instruction or teaching classes shall not be taken to contravene section 22(c)(i) or the duty in section 25 [F5or 25A].
