Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Education (Assisted Places) Regulations 1989 in respect of a school year beginning on or after 26th August 1994.

The reductions to be made in relevant income in respect of dependent relatives pursuant to regulation 11(3) and (4) of the 1989 Regulations are increased from £1,125 to £1,140 (regulation 2).

The means test for the remission of fees is relaxed; the level of income at or below which fees are to be wholly remitted is set at £9,352 instead of £9,225 with corresponding increases in the extent of remission where relevant income exceeds that sum (regulation 3).
