EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Education (Pupil Registration) (England) Regulations 2006 (“the 2006 Regulations”) and come into force on 1st September 2011.
Regulation 2 of these Regulations inserts a new sub-paragraph (o) into regulation 8(1) of the 2006 Regulations and creates a new ground for deletion from the school admission register. Where a pupil of compulsory school age is a boarder at a maintained school or an Academy, the pupil’s name must be deleted from the admission register where payment of the boarding charges by the pupil’s parents remains outstanding at the end of the term to which those charges relate.
An impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sector is foreseen. The impact on the public sector is minimal.
