Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order amends the Education (Inner London Education Authority) (Property Transfer) Order 1990, which transferred the premises of Grafham Grange School to the London Borough of Lewisham subject to (inter alia) a condition that if the premises cease to be used for Lewisham’s purposes as a local education authority, or if Lewisham wishes to dispose of them, they should be offered to the other inner London councils and, if none is willing to accept them, sold and the proceeds distributed to the councils. The amendment disapplies that condition while the premises are used for the purposes of a non-maintained special school. It also provides that disposing of the premises to persons who intend to conduct such a school on them is not to be treated for the purposes of the condition as indicating a wish to dispose of them.
