EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations modify schedule 1 of the Schools (Consultation) (Scotland) Act 2010 (“the 2010 Act”). Section 1 of the 2010 Act imposes various requirements on education authorities where they have formulated a “relevant proposal” and schedule 1 specifies the proposals that are relevant proposals for the purposes of the 2010 Act.

Regulation 2(2) modifies paragraph 2(a) and (b) of schedule 1 (establishment) and regulation 2(3) modifies paragraph 3 of schedule 1 (relocation), to exclude proposals to establish a new nursery school or new nursery class and proposals to relocate a nursery school or nursery class from being relevant proposals for the purposes of the 2010 Act.
