Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Education (No. 2) Act 1986 so as to reduce a burden on the governing bodies of county, controlled and maintained special schools in respect of changes to the length of the school day. By virtue of section 21(2) of that Act it was necessary for any proposal by the governing body of such a school to amend the length of the school day to be discussed at the annual parents' meeting. Section 21(2) is repealed by this Order which now imposes the duties regarding such changes, formerly required by that section to be contained in the articles of government, directly on such governing bodies but with the change that such discussion can now take place at a meeting of parents other than the annual parents' meeting.
No change is made in respect of Pupil Referral Units and section 21(2) as applied by the Education (Pupil Referral Units) (Application of Enactments) Regulations 1994 remains in force in relation to such institutions.
