EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Grammar Schools (Charges) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1992 and revoke the Grammar Schools (Charges) (Amendment) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2006.
In relation to a voluntary grammar school to which Articles 128 to 131 of the Education Reform (Northern Ireland) Order 1989 apply, the Board of Governors may charge only in respect of a pupil enrolled in the secondary department of the school for the purpose of meeting expenditure on the provision or alteration of school premises or on the provision of associated equipment.
These Regulations increase the maximum amount which the Board of Governors may charge from £130 to £140.
