EDUCATION, ENGLAND AND WALES

These Regulations make modifications, transitional provision and consequential amendments to primary and secondary legislation affecting teachers, the staffing of schools and the employment of school staff consequential on the provisions of the School Standards and Framework Act 1998 (“the 1998 Act”). From 1st April 1999, grant-maintained and grant-maintained special schools will be maintained by local education authorities, although authorities will not at first be required to be responsible for capital expenditure. Other changes to the system of financing schools maintained by local education authorities also take effect on 1st April 1999. The 1998 Act also introduces a new framework for maintained schools. All maintained schools, including grant-maintained and grant-maintained special schools, will enter their new categories on 1st September 1999, the appointed day for this purpose under the 1998 Act.
