(b)any grant-maintained school which is in the authority’s area and in relation to which section 379 applies,
consider whether it is appropriate for the requirement imposed by section 386(2) to apply in the case of the school or in the case of any class or description of pupils at the school.
(2)In determining whether it is appropriate for that requirement to apply as mentioned in subsection (1), the council shall have regard to any circumstances relating to the family backgrounds of the pupils at the school, or of the pupils of the particular class or description in question, which are relevant for determining the character of the collective worship appropriate in their case.
(3)The council shall give the head teacher written notification of their decision on the application.

(5)Before making an application under subsection (1), the head teacher of a school shall consult the governing body.
(6)On being consulted by the head teacher, the governing body may if they think fit take such steps as they consider appropriate for consulting all persons appearing to them to be parents of registered pupils at the school.
(7)An application under subsection (1) shall be made in such manner and form as the council may require.
