it considers that they are related to proposals requiring approval under section 50 (“proposals A”), and

b

the proposer has not determined whether to implement proposals B under section 53 before the Welsh Ministers approve or reject proposals A.

2

If the Welsh Ministers consider that proposals B are related to proposals A, proposals B are to be treated as requiring approval under section 50.

a

it considers that they are related to proposals requiring the local authority's approval under section 51 (“proposals C”), and

b

the proposer has not determined whether to implement proposals D under section 53 before the local authority approves or rejects proposals C.

5

The Welsh Ministers may require any other proposals to be treated as requiring approval under section 50 if—

7

This section does not apply to proposals referred to a local inquiry under section 61 (local inquiry into proposals for the rationalisation of school places).

53Determination1

Where any proposals published under section 48 do not require approval under section 50 or 51, the proposer must determine whether the proposals should be implemented.

2

If a determination under subsection (1) is not made before the end of 16 weeks beginning with the end of the objection period, the proposer is to be taken to have withdrawn the proposals.

3

Before the end of 7 days beginning with the day of its determination under subsection (1), the proposer must notify the following of the determination—

a

the Welsh Ministers;

b

(except where it is the proposer) the local authority that maintains, or that it is proposed will maintain, the school to which the proposals relate;

c

(except where it is the proposer) the governing body (if any) of the school to which the proposals relate.

54Referral to the Welsh Ministers1

This section applies if a local authority has—

a

determined to approve or reject proposals under section 51(4), or

b

determined under section 53(1) to implement proposals to which there was an objection made in accordance with section 49 (and which was not withdrawn in writing before the end of 28 days beginning with the end of the objection period).

2

Before the end of 28 days beginning with the day of the local authority's determination under section 51(4) or 53(1), the following may refer the proposals to the Welsh Minister—

a

another local authority which is likely to be affected by the proposals;

b

a local authority in England which is likely to be affected by the proposals ;

c

the appropriate religious body for—

i

the school to which the proposals relate if it is, or is intended to be, a school which has a religious character, or

ii

any other school which has a religious character and which is likely to be affected by the proposals;

d

if the school to which the proposals relate is a foundation or voluntary school, the governing body of the school;

e

a trust holding property for the purpose of the school to which the proposals relate;

f

an institution within the further education sector which is likely to be affected by the proposals.

3

Whether an authority, school or institution is likely to be affected by the proposals for the purpose of subsection (2) is a question to be determined by the Welsh Ministers.

4

The Welsh Ministers must consider proposals referred to them under this section afresh and subsections (5) to (8) of section 50 apply as if the proposals required their approval under that section.

5

Proposals made under section 43 or 44 to discontinue a school which is a small school (see section 56) may not be referred to the Welsh Ministers under this section.

6

Proposals which the Welsh Ministers are required to consider under this section are not to be treated for the purposes of section 55 or 61 as proposals approved under section 51 or as proposals that the proposer has determined to implement under section 53.

7

Proposals approved in accordance with this section are to be treated for the purposes of section 55 as proposals approved under section 50.

8

Proposals rejected in accordance with this section are to be treated for the purposes of paragraph 35(3)(e) of Schedule 4 as proposals rejected under section 50.

55Implementation1

This section applies to—

a

proposals approved under section 50 or 51, or

b

proposals which the proposer has determined under section 53 to implement.

2

The proposals must (subject to the following provisions of this section) be implemented in the form in which they were approved or determined to be implemented—

a

in the case of proposals made under section 41, 42, 43 or 44 (establishment, alteration or discontinuance of schools), in accordance with Schedule 3;

b

in the case of proposals made under section 45 (change of category), in accordance with Schedule 4.

3

The proposer may (subject to subsection (6)) determine to delay implementation for a period of up to three years from the date or dates specified in the proposals (as approved or determined) as the date or dates on which they are to be implemented, if it is satisfied—

a

that implementation of the proposals on that date or those dates would be unreasonably difficult, or

b

that circumstances have so altered since the proposals were approved under section 50 or 51 or determined under section 53, that implementation of the proposals on that date or those dates would be inappropriate.

4

In the case of proposals to discontinue a school made under section 43 or 44, the proposer may (subject to subsection (6)) determine to bring forward implementation by a period of up to 13 weeks from the date or dates specified in the proposals (as approved or determined) as the date or dates on which they are to be implemented.

5

The proposer may (subject to subsection (6)) determine that subsection (2) does not apply to proposals if it is satisfied—

a

that implementation of the proposals would be unreasonably difficult, or

b

that circumstances have so altered since the proposals were approved under section 50 or 51 or determined under section 53, that implementation of the proposals would be inappropriate.

6

In the case of proposals which have been approved under section 50 or 51, the proposer may only make a determination under subsection (3), (4) or (5) with the agreement of the Welsh Ministers.

7

Before the end of 7 days beginning with the day of the determination, the proposer must notify the following of any determination it makes under subsection (3), (4) or (5)—

a

the Welsh Ministers;

b

(except where it is the proposer) the local authority that maintains, or that it is proposed will maintain the school to which the proposals relate;

c

(except where it is the proposer) the governing body (if any) of the school to which the proposals relate.

8

Where, by virtue of subsection (5), subsection (2) ceases to apply to any proposals, those proposals are to be treated as if they had been rejected under section 50(5)(a) or 51(4)(a) or as if the proposer had determined under section 53 not to implement them.

56Interpretation of Chapter 21

the Code” (“y Cod”) means the code on school organisation issued under section 38(1);

objection period” (“cyfnod gwrthwynebu”) has the meaning given by section 49(2);

proposer” (“cynigydd”), in relation to proposals made under section 41, 42, 43, 44 or 45, is the local authority, the governing body or other person who has made the proposals;

regulated alteration” (“newid rheoleiddiedig”) means an alteration described in Schedule 2;

small school” (“ysgol fach”) means a school with fewer than 10 registered pupils on the third Tuesday in the January immediately preceding the date on which the proposals are made.

2

The Welsh Minsters may by order amend the definition of “small school” in subsection (1) so as to substitute a reference to a different date for the reference to the date for the time being specified.
