8 Where a pupil has been registered at a maintained school for less than four weeks, it is to be sufficient compliance for the purposes of paragraphs (3) and (4) if the head teacher of that school or, where applicable, the local education authority transfers such information and record as they have received under this regulation from the school at which the pupil was previously registered in the form in which it was received by them.
9 For the purposes of paragraph (8), the reference in paragraph (3) to “fifteen school days” is a reference to the number of days after the day on which the pupil ceases to be registered at the school in question or to the number of days after the information and record have been received by the head teacher of that school, whichever is the later.
10 If the head teacher of a pupil’s old school receives a request from the head teacher of the school at which the pupil is currently a registered pupil, either for the common transfer information relating to the time when the pupil left the old school or for any educational record relating to that pupil in the old school’s possession, the head teacher must provide it within fifteen school days of receiving the request.
11 If a pupil arrives at a new maintained school without his or her common transfer information or details of his or her old school being available, the head teacher of the new school must contact the local education authority which maintains the new school to request a search of the secure internet website provided by or on behalf of the National Assembly for the pupil’s common transfer information.

(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations replace with changes provisions formerly contained in the Education (Individual Pupils' Achievements) (Information) (Wales) Regulations 1997 as amended and the Education (Pupil Records) (Wales) Regulations 2001. They provide for the keeping by the head teacher of records about the academic achievements, the skills and abilities and progress (curricular records) of a pupil at a school maintained by a local education authority and a special school not so maintained (regulation 4).
They also make provision for the disclosure and transfer by the head teacher of educational records (as defined in regulation 3) to parents and schools to which pupils are under consideration for transfer (regulation 5). Regulation 6 sets out the contents of the report that the head teacher of the old school is required to send the head teacher of the new school once the pupil has transferred to the new school.
The Regulations also make provision as to the report the head teacher is required to send to parents and adult pupils each school year (regulation 7) and the additional information parents of registered pupils who are assessed in any key stage may request relating to the pupil’s levels of achievements in relevant subjects (regulation 8). Regulation 9 prescribes the information the head teacher must make available in the reports given to school leavers. Regulation 10 sets out certain restrictions on the provision of information.
Where requisite, any document or information required to be made available under the Regulations must be translated into English or Welsh or another language (regulation 11).
The Education (Individual Pupils' Achievements) (Information) (Wales) Regulations 1997 as amended and the Education (Pupil Records) (Wales) Regulations 2001 are revoked (regulation 12).
