(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations make provision for the keeping of records about the academic achievements, the skills and abilities and the progress of a pupil at a school maintained by a local education authority (except a nursery school) and a special school not so maintained (regulation 4).
They make provision for the disclosure of educational records by the head teachers of all schools maintained by local education authorities (except nursery schools) and special schools not so maintained (regulation 5).
The regulations also require the provision of information by head teachers of community, foundation or voluntary schools and community or foundation special schools other than such schools established in a hospital, (“maintained schools”) primarily about the educational achievements of their pupils (regulations 6, 7, 8 and 9).
Regulation 10 provides for the transfer of information when a pupil moves from a maintained school to another school (not necessarily another maintained school).
Regulation 11 provides for the recording of information on so called common transfer forms and for them to be sent (in either electronic or paper form) when a pupil moves from a maintained school to another school (not necessarily another maintained school). Paper copies of the common transfer form can be obtained from DfEE Publications, PO Box 5050, Sudbury, Suffolk CO10 6ZQ (Tel: 0845 602 2260, Fax: 0845 603 3360, E-mail: dfee@prologistics.co.uk).
These Regulations revoke and replace the Education (School Records) Regulations 1989, the Education (Individual Pupils' Achievements) (Information) Regulations 1992, the Education (Individual Pupils' Achievements) (Information) Regulations 1997 and the Education (Individual Pupils' Achievements) (Information) (Amendment) Regulations 1998.
The major change in these regulations is the omission of provisions relating to the right to access information by pupils. From 1st March 2000 this will be governed by the Data Protection Act 1998.
