Section 19 – Minor and consequential amendments to the Education Act 2002
45.This section makes consequential amendments to sections 19 and 20 of the Education Act 2002, so that those provisions refer to federations under the Measure. It limits the application of sections 24, 25 and 39 of the Education Act 2002 to England because they have been replaced, for Wales, by provision made by this Chapter. It also amends paragraph 5 of Schedule 1 to the Education Act 2002 to make it clear that if a school in a federation closes and there is more than one school remaining in the federation, the governing body of the federation does not automatically dissolve.
