EDUCATION, ENGLAND

Under section 41(1)(b) of the School Standards and Framework Act 1998 the governing body of a community, voluntary controlled or community special school are responsible for determining the times of the school sessions. That is to say, the times at which each of the school sessions (or, if there is only one, the school session) is to begin and end on any day. These Regulations set out the procedures to be taken by the governing body of such a school before making any change in its session times. They do not apply in relation to foundation, voluntary aided or foundation special schools.
