“Part A1 E+W Foundation, voluntary and foundation special schools in england: disposals of land

Disposal of land by governing body of foundation, voluntary or foundation special school

A1 (1) This paragraph applies to any disposal by the governing body of a foundation, voluntary or foundation special school in England of—

(a) any land acquired under a transfer under section 201(1)(a) of the Education Act 1996,

(b) any land acquired under any of the following—

• paragraph 2 of Schedule 3;

• paragraph 16 of Schedule 6 (including that provision as applied by any enactment);

• paragraph 5(4)(c), 5(4B)(d) or 8A of this Schedule;

• any regulations made under paragraph 5 of Schedule 8;

• paragraph 28(2) of Schedule 2 to the Education and Inspections Act 2006 (including that provision as applied by any enactment),

(c) any land acquired under any regulations made under—

• section 24 of the Education and Inspections Act 2006 by virtue of subsection (3)(b) of that section, or

• section 27 of that Act by virtue of subsection (2)(b) of that section,

(d) any land acquired from a foundation body,

(e) any land acquired from the Funding Agency for Schools,

(f) any land acquired, or enhanced in value, wholly or partly by means of any maintenance, special purpose or capital grant (within the meaning of Chapter 6 of Part 3 of the Education Act 1996),

(g) any land acquired, or enhanced in value, wholly or partly by means of any grant made on or after 1st April 2007 by the Secretary of State under paragraph 5 of Schedule 3 (including that provision as applied by any enactment) in relation to which notice is given in accordance with paragraph A27,

(h) any land acquired, or enhanced in value, wholly or partly by means of expenditure incurred for the purposes of the school and treated by the local education authority as expenditure of a capital nature, or

(i) any land acquired, or enhanced in value, wholly or partly with the proceeds of disposal of any land acquired or enhanced in value as mentioned in any of paragraphs (a) to (h).

(2) But this paragraph does not apply to any disposal which—

(a) is made by the governing body of a foundation or foundation special school after the commencement of this sub-paragraph, and

(b) is a disposal to the trustees of the school made on the school becoming a school with a foundation established otherwise than under this Act.

(3) Sub-paragraph (1)(h) does not apply in the case of any expenditure incurred on or after the appointed day unless the authority—

(a) prepared an appropriate statement in relation to the expenditure, and

(b) sent a copy of the statement to the governing body either before, or no later than 12 months after, the expenditure was incurred.

(4) An “appropriate statement” in relation to expenditure is a statement in writing which—

(a) contains details of the amount of the expenditure, the acquisition or works funded (or to be funded) by such expenditure, and the total cost (or estimated total cost) of that acquisition or those works, and

(b) indicates that the expenditure was being treated by the authority as expenditure of a capital nature.

A2 (1) This paragraph applies to a disposal of land to which paragraph A1 applies if, or to the extent that, it comprises a disposal of non-playing field land.

(2) “Non-playing field land” means land which does not include playing fields within the meaning of section 77.

(3) Accordingly, in this paragraph, paragraphs A3 to A5 and paragraph A19—

(a) references to the disposal are to the disposal by the governing body of the non-playing field land, and

(b) references to the land are to that non-playing field land.

(4) The governing body must give the local education authority notice of their intention to dispose of the land.

(5) That notification must specify—

(a) the relevant capital expenditure upon which it is proposed the publicly funded proceeds of disposal are to be used, and

(b) the estimated amount of the proceeds of disposal.

(6) For the purposes of this paragraph and paragraphs A3 and A4, the “publicly funded proceeds of disposal” means the proceeds of disposal which are attributable to the land having been acquired or enhanced in value, or both, as the case may be, as mentioned in the relevant paragraph or paragraphs of sub-paragraph (1) of paragraph A1.

(7) The authority may, within the requisite period, give the governing body any or all of the following—

(a) notice of their objection to the disposal, giving reasons for their objection;

(b) notice of their objection to the proposed use of the publicly funded proceeds of disposal, giving reasons for their objection;

(c) notice of their claim to the whole or a part of the publicly funded proceeds of disposal.

(8) The “requisite period” means the period of 6 weeks beginning with the date upon which the governing body gave notification of the disposal to the authority under sub-paragraph (4).

(9) A notice given under sub-paragraph (7) may be withdrawn at any time by the authority giving the governing body notice to that effect.

(10) The governing body may not make the disposal within the requisite period unless within that period—

(a) the authority give the governing body notice that they relinquish any right to give notice under sub-paragraph (7)(a) in relation to the disposal, or

(b) in a case where the authority give notice of their objection to the disposal in accordance with sub-paragraph (7)(a), the relevant requirements in relation to such a notice are met.

(11) If the authority give notice of their objection to the disposal in accordance with sub-paragraph (7)(a), the governing body may not make the disposal on or after the expiry of the requisite period until the relevant requirements in relation to such a notice are met.

(12) The “relevant requirements” in relation to a notice given under sub-paragraph (7)(a) are met if—

(a) the adjudicator has approved the disposal on a reference made under paragraph A3(1), or

(b) the authority have withdrawn notice of their objection to the disposal in accordance with sub-paragraph (9).

(13) If the authority give either or both of the following notices in relation to the disposal in accordance with sub-paragraph (7)—

(a) notice of their objection to the proposed use of the publicly funded proceeds of disposal under sub-paragraph (7)(b);

(b) notice of their claim to the whole or a part of the publicly funded proceeds of disposal under sub-paragraph (7)(c),

the governing body may not use the publicly funded proceeds of disposal until the relevant requirements in relation to each notice so given are met.

(14) The “relevant requirements” in relation to a notice given under sub-paragraph (7)(b) are met if—

(a) the relevant capital expenditure upon which the publicly funded proceeds of disposal are to be used has been determined in accordance with paragraph A3(2), or
