For the purposes of section 90A(2) and (3)(a) the required number of school years is two.

Section 89(1) and (2) to (10) does not apply to admission authorities for maintained schools to which section 90A applies, in respect of admission arrangements that are part of the adjudicator’s decision to uphold an objection or make a modification pursuant to section 90 (8).

For the purposes of section 90A(6) the prescribed circumstances are that there has been a major change in circumstances since the beginning of the period prescribed by paragraph (1).

On the making of a reference by the admission authority (pursuant to section 90A(6) and paragraph (3)), the adjudicator may vary the admission arrangements.

Where the adjudicator decides that the admission arrangements must be varied his decision is to be binding.
