This paragraph applies where a foundation or voluntary aided school changes category to become a community or voluntary controlled school.

The contract of employment between P and the governing body has effect from the implementation date as if originally made between P and the local authority.

3

All the governing body's rights, powers, duties and liabilities under or in connection with the contract of employment are transferred to the local authority on the implementation date.

4

Anything done before that date by or in relation to the governing body in connection with that contract or P is to be treated from that date as having been done by or in relation to the local authority.

5

In this paragraph, “P” is a person who—

a

immediately before the implementation date is employed by the governing body to work at the school in question, or

b

before the implementation date, is appointed by the governing body to work at the school as from the implementation date or a later date.

6

But “P” does not include a person whose contract of employment terminates on the day immediately preceding the implementation date.

7

This paragraph does not affect any right of an employee to terminate the contract if (apart from the change of employer) a substantial change is made to the employee's detriment in the employee's working conditions.
