Whole provisions yet to be inserted into this Instrument (including any effects on those provisions):
35.—(1) The governing body or the local education authority may review the instrument of government at any time after it is made.
(2) Where on any review the governing body or the local education authority decides that the instrument of government should be varied, the governing body or (as the case may be) the local education authority must notify the other of its proposed variation together with its reasons for proposing such a variation.
(3) Where the governing body has received notification under paragraph (2), it must inform the local education authority as to whether or not it is content with the proposed variation and, if not content, its reasons.
(4) Where the school has foundation governors, the governing body must not—
(a)give the local education authority any notification under paragraph (2), or
(b)inform the authority under paragraph (3) that it is content with the authority’s proposed variation,
unless the persons listed in regulation 34(2) have approved the proposed variation.
(5) If—
(a)whichever of the governing body and the local education authority is the recipient of a notification under paragraph (2) agrees with the proposed variation, or
(b)there is agreement between the local education authority, the governing body and (if the school has foundation governors) the other persons listed in regulation 34(2) that some other variation should be made instead,
the local education authority must vary the instrument of government accordingly.
(6) If, in the case of a school which has foundation governors, at any time the persons listed in regulation 34(2) disagree with the proposed variation any of those persons may refer it to the National Assembly for Wales; and on such a reference the National Assembly for Wales must give such direction as it thinks fit having regard, in particular, to the category of school to which the school belongs.
(7) If neither sub-paragraphs (a) and (b) of paragraph (5) applies in the case of a school which does not have foundation governors, the local education authority must—
(a)inform the governing body of the reasons—
(i)why it is not content with the governing body’s proposed variation, or as the case may be,
(ii)why it wishes to proceed with its own variation, and
(b)give the governing body a reasonable opportunity to reach agreement with it with regard to the variation;
and the instrument of government must be varied by it either in the manner agreed between it and the governing body or (in the absence of such agreement) in such manner as it thinks fit having regard, in particular, to the category of school to which the school belongs.
(8) Nothing in this regulation is to be taken as requiring the local education authority to vary the instrument of government if it does not consider it appropriate to do so.
(9) Where an instrument of government is varied under this regulation—
(a)the instrument must set out the date on which the variation takes effect; and
(b)regulation 33(3) applies in relation to any variation relating to the manner in which the governing body is to be constituted as if it referred to the date when the variation is made rather than the date when the instrument is made.
