EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Education (Individual Pupil Information) (Prescribed Persons) (England) Regulations 2009 so as to enable individual pupil information to be disclosed to the proprietor of an Academy where the school at which the pupil to whom the information relates was registered is converted into an Academy (as described in section 4(3) of the Academies Act 2010).

An impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen. The impact on the public sector is minimal.
