(This note is not part of the regulations)
These Regulations further amend the Education (School Curriculum and Related Information) Regulations 1989.
In the case of any school maintained by a local education authority (“LEA”), the duty of the governing body to provide particulars to the LEA of the educational provision which has been made in their school in the school year, and the LEA’s duty to provide those particulars to the Secretary of State, are revoked (regulation 2(2) and (9)). In the case of a grant-maintained school the duty of the governing body to provide such particulars to the Secretary of State is revoked (regulation 2(7)).
The date by which the head teacher of a LEA-maintained and a grant-maintained school is required to provide the particulars to the governing body is changed for a primary and a maintained special school from 30th June to 30th September in each year, and for secondary schools from 30th June to 31st July for 1990 only (regulation 2(2), (5) and (8)).
The particulars required by the 1989 regulations have been reduced and simplified substantially for primary schools and to a lesser extent for secondary schools (regulation 2(2), (3) and (6) ) and new corresponding prescribed forms have been substituted (regulation 2(10) and the Schedule). The head teacher of a grant-maintained school is required to provide the particulars in prescribed forms (ie as for LEA-maintained schools) (regulation 2(8)).
