EDUCATION, ENGLAND

This Order modifies various statutory provisions relating to employment to take account of the requirement contained in the School Standards and Framework Act 1998 for authorities to delegate financial management of schools to their governing bodies. While a school has a delegated budget, the governing body has powers as to the appointment, suspension, conduct and discipline, capability and dismissal of staff at the school, although the authority remains the employer of staff at community, voluntary controlled, community special schools and maintained nursery schools. The authority may also be the employer of certain support staff at foundation, voluntary aided and foundation special schools.
