(4)As a result of subsection (3), subsection (1) has the effect that a school may, for example, be both a Church of England school and a Roman Catholic Church school and so have a different appropriate diocesan authority in each of those capacities; and, in the case of a school with two appropriate diocesan authorities, any reference in this Act to “the appropriate diocesan authority” is—
(a)in relation to anything required to be done by or in relation to that authority, a reference to both of the authorities concerned; or

(8)This Act shall be construed as one with the M3Education Act 1996; and (without prejudice to their generality) paragraphs 1 and 2 of Schedule 39 to that Act (construction of references etc.) apply to references in this Act to provisions of that Act.
(9)Where, however, an expression is given for the purposes of any provision of this Act a meaning different from that given to it for the purposes of that Act, the meaning given for the purposes of that provision shall apply instead of the one given for the purposes of that Act.

(a)section 43 or 62(2) of this Act, or

be taken as referring only to persons within paragraph (a) or (b) of that subsection who are individuals.
