(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations further amend the Education (Assisted Places) Regulations 1997 (“the 1997 Regulations”) in respect of the school year beginning on or after 1st September 2006. The reductions to be made in relevant income in respect of dependent relatives pursuant to regulation 10(4) and (6) of the 1997 Regulations are increased from £1,575 to £1,625.
These Regulations amend the means test for the remission of fees: the level of income at or below which fees are to be wholly remitted is set at £12,470 instead of £12,182, with corresponding increases in the extent of remission where relevant income exceeds that sum.
