(2)The provision of section eight of the principal Act which renders it the duty of every local education authority to secure that there shall be available for their area sufficient schools for providing primary and secondary education shall not be construed as imposing any obligation on proprietors of schools to admit children as registered pupils otherwise than at the beginning of a school term, except as regards admission at a school during the currency of a school term of a child who was prevented from entering the school at the beginning of the term—

(a)by his being ill or by other circumstances beyond his control; or

(b)by his parents having been then resident at a place whence the school was not accessible with reasonable facility;

and, notwithstanding anything in section thirty-six of the principal Act, the parent of a child shall not be under any duty to cause him to receive full-time education during any period during which, having regard to the preceding provisions of this subsection, it is not practicable for the parent to arrange for him to become a registered pupil at a school.

5 Amendment and consolidation of enactments as to provision of clothing.E+W

(1)A local education authority may provide clothing—

(a)for any pupil who is a boarder at any educational institution maintained by the authority [F4or at a grant-maintained school];

(b)for any pupil at a nursery school so maintained; or

(c)for any pupil in a nursery class at any school so maintained [F4or at a grant-maintained school],

[F5and they may also provide clothing for a pupil for whom they are providing board and lodging elsewhere than at an educational institution so maintained, being a pupil [F6for whom special educational provision is made in pursuance of arrangements made by them]].

(2)Where it appears to a local education authority that—

(a)a pupil not falling within the preceding subsection at a school maintained by them [F7or at a grant-maintained school], or

(b)a pupil not falling within the preceding subsection at a special school whether maintained by them or not,

is unable by reason of the inadequacy or unsuitability of his clothing to take full advantage of the education provided at the school, the authority may provide him with such clothing as in the opinion of the authority is necessary for the purpose of ensuring that he is sufficiently and suitably clad while he remains a pupil at the school.

(3)[F8A local education authority may provide]

(a)for pupils at a school maintained by them [F9or a grant-maintained school], or at [F10an institution maintained by them which provides higher education or further education (or both)], and

(b)for persons who make use of facilities for physical training made available for them by the authority under subsection (1) of section fifty-three of the principal Act,

such articles of clothing [F11as may be determined by the authority] suitable for the physical training provided at the school, [F12or institution], or under the facilities so made available.

(4)A local education authority may, with the consent of the proprietor of a school not maintained by the authority other than a special school [F13or a grant-maintained school], and upon such financial and other terms, if any, as may be determined by agreement between the authority and the proprietor of the school, make arrangements for securing, for any pupil at the school who is unable by reason of the inadequacy or unsuitability of his clothing to take full advantage of the education provided at the school, the provision of such clothing as is necessary for the purpose of ensuring that he is sufficiently and suitably clad while he remains a pupil at the school:

Provided that any arrangements made under this subsection shall be such as to secure, so far as is practicable, that the expense incurred by the authority in connection with the provision of any article under the arrangements shall not exceed the expense which would have been incurred by them in the provision thereof if the pupil had been a pupil at a school maintained by them.

(5)Provision of clothing under any of the powers conferred by this section may be made in such way as to confer either a right of property in the clothing or a right of user only, at the option of the providing authority except in any circumstances for which the adoption of one or other way of making such provision is prescribed.

(6)Where a local education authority have, under the powers conferred by this section, provided a person with clothing, then, in such circumstances respectively as may be prescribed—

(a)the authority shall be under obligation to require the parent to pay to them in respect thereof such sum, if any, as in the opinion of the authority he is able without financial hardship to pay, not exceeding the cost to the authority of the provision;

(b)the authority shall have power to require the parent to pay to them in respect thereof such sums as aforesaid or any less sums; or

(c)the parent shall not be required to pay any sum in respect thereof.

Any sum which a parent is duly required to pay by virtue of paragraph (a) or (b) of this subsection may be recovered summarily as a civil debt.

[F14(6A)Where a person who has attained the age of eighteen years (other than a registered pupil at a school) is provided with clothing under this section any reference in subsection (6) above to his parent shall be construed as a reference to that person.]

(7)The preceding provisions of this section shall be in substitution for the provisions of the Education Acts 1944 and 1946, relating to the provision of clothing.

[F167(1)For the proviso to subsection (2) of section ten of the principal Act (which empowers the Secretary of State to give such a direction as is therein mentioned where he is satisfied that it would be unreasonable in the case of any particular school to require conformity in any particular respect with the requirements of the regulations as to the prescribed standards as to the premises of schools), the following proviso shall be substituted, that is to say—

Provided that, if the Secretary of State is satisfied with respect to any school—

(a)that having regard to the nature of the existing site or to any existing buildings thereon or to other special circumstances affecting the school premises it would be unreasonable to require conformity with a requirement of the regulations as to any matter, or

(b)where the school is to have an additional or new site that having regard to shortage of suitable sites it would be unreasonable to require conformity with a requirement of the regulations relating to sites, or

(c)where the school is to have additional buildings or is to be transferred to a new site, and existing buildings not theretofore part of the school premises, or temporary buildings, are to be used for that purpose, that having regard to the need to control public expenditure in the interests of the national economy it would be unreasonable to require conformity with a requirement of the regulations relating to buildings,

he may give a direction that, notwithstanding that that requirement is not satisfied, the school premises shall, whilst the direction remains in force, be deemed to conform to the prescribed standards as respects matters with which the direction deals if such conditions, if any, as may be specified in the direction as respects those matters are observed.

Textual Amendments

9 Presumption of age in proceedings to enforce attendance at school.E+W

(1)For the purposes of a prosecution of the parent of a child for an offence against section thirty-seven or section thirty-nine of the principal Act (which relate respectively to failure to comply with a school attendance order and to failure of a child to attend regularly at school), in so far as the child’s having been of compulsory school age at any time is material, the child shall be presumed to have been of compulsory school age at that time unless the parent proves the contrary.

(2)An obligation under the preceding subsection to presume a child to have been of compulsory school age at any time shall be in substitution, so far as regards the purposes for which that presumption is required to be made, for the power conferred on the court by subsection (1) of section ninety-five of the principal Act (which is a power to presume a person to be under, of, or over, an age alleged by the person by whom any proceedings under the principal Act are brought on his satisfying the court that, having used all reasonable diligence to obtain evidence as to the age of that person, he has been unable to do so).

10 Provisions as to power of local education authorities to acquire land.E+W

(1)Subsection (1) of section ninety of the principal Act (under which a local education authority may be authorised to purchase compulsorily land required for the purposes of any school or college which is, or is to be, maintained by them, or otherwise for the purposes of their functions under that Act) shall be amended by inserting therein, after the words “for the purposes of any school or college which is, or is to be, maintained by them” the words “or which they have power to asist.”

(2)For the removal of doubt it is hereby declared that the rendering available of land for the purposes of a school [F20or] institution which is, or is to be, maintained by a local education authority, or which they have power to assist, is a function of the authority within the meaning of [F21section one hundred and twenty of the M1Local Government Act 1972], . . . F22 (which relate to the acquisition by a local authority by agreement of land for the purpose of any of their functions), notwithstanding that the land will not be held by the authority.

(3)A local education authority shall not acquire by agreement any land required for the purposes of a voluntary school unless they are satisfied that the arrangements made as to the vesting of the land to be acquired, and as to the appropriation thereof for those purposes, are such as to secure that the expenditure ultimately borne by them will not include any expenditure which, if the land had been acquired by the . . . F23 governors of the school, would have fallen to be borne by the . . . F23 governors.
