EDUCATION, ENGLAND AND WALES

These Regulations amend the Education (Approval of Special Schools) Regulations 1983 (“the principal Regulations”). In addition to minor and drafting amendments, they make the following changes of substance. They amend regulation 7 of, and paragraph 13(2)(a) of Part II of Schedule 2 to, the principal Regulations in order to take account of the power in section 218 of the Education Reform Act 1988 to make Regulations relating to the employment of teachers (regulations 3 and 4(d)). They introduce, in Part I of that Schedule, a new condition of approval and continuing requirement relating to the welfare of pupils (regulation 4(a)); They clarify the provision in paragraph 9 of that Schedule relating to religious worship and instruction (regulation 4(b)). They amend paragraph 10 of that Schedule, relating to the provision of milk meals and refreshment, in order to take account of the receipt by parents of income support which has replaced supplementary benefit and family income supplement (regulation 4(c)). They amend paragraph 5 of Schedule 3 to the principal Regulations by adding to the information of the school curriculum, to be published by the governing body of a non-maintained special school, information relating to the school curriculum including certain specified particulars (regulation 5(a)). They also amend paragaph 11 of that Schedule by excluding from the information to be so published about the general arrangements as to school discipline the practice regarding corporal punishment (regulation 5(b)).
