Amendment of the Education (Infant Class Sizes) (Wales) Regulations 1998
6. Delete paragraph 6 of the Schedule and replace with—
“6.—(1) Subject to sub-paragraph (3), this paragraph applies at any time during the admission school year to a child admitted to the school outside a normal admission round, where education at a school which is Welsh-speaking is desired and the school is the only such school within a reasonable distance of the child’s home.
(2) In this paragraph “a school which is a Welsh-speaking school” has the meaning given to that expression in section 105(7) of the Education Act 2002(1).
(3) Where the admission authority for the school in question is not the local authority the child will not be an excepted child under this paragraph unless the local authority has confirmed in writing that there are no places available at another Welsh-speaking school within a reasonable distance of the child’s home.”
