Partially-selective schools
10 Restriction of right to refuse admission to partially-selective school.
In section 411(3) of the M1Education Act 1996 (cases where parental preference need not be complied with), for paragraph (c) there shall be substituted—
c
if the arrangements for admission to the preferred school—

are wholly based on selection by reference to ability or aptitude, and
ii
are so based with a view to admitting only pupils with high ability or with aptitude,
and compliance with the preference would be incompatible with selection under those arrangements.
