(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order is made under section 2 of the Education Act 2002. Article 2 provides that regulation 4(2), (3) and (4) of the Changing of School Session Times (Wales) Regulations 2009 does not apply to the governing body of Eastern High School. This will allow the governing body to make alterations to when the school sessions start and end including when the school day starts and ends from 1 June 2015, rather than at the beginning of a school term or school year. Article 3 specifies that the Order has effect until 31 August 2015.
The Welsh Ministers’ Code of Practice on the carrying out of Regulatory Impact Assessments was considered in relation to this Order. As a result, it was not considered necessary to carry out a regulatory impact assessment as to the likely costs and benefits of complying with this Order.
The functions of the National Assembly for Wales in sections 1 to 5 were vested in the Welsh Ministers by paragraphs 30 and 32 of Schedule 11 to the Government of Wales Act 2006 (c. 32).
