The Education (Listed Bodies) (England) (Amendment) (No. 2) Order 2005

Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Order)

The Education (Listed Bodies) (England) Order 2004 lists the name of every body which is not a “recognised body” within section 216(4) of the Education Reform Act 1988 but which appears to the Secretary of State either:

(a) to provide a course which is in preparation for a degree to be granted by such a recognised body and is approved by or on behalf of that body; or

(b) to be a constituent college, school, hall or other institution of a university which is such a recognised body.

“Recognised bodies” are universities, colleges or other bodies which are authorised by Royal Charter or by or under Act of Parliament to grant degrees and other bodies for the time being permitted by those bodies to act on their behalf in the granting of degrees.

This Order amends the Education (Listed Bodies) (England) Order 2004 to remove Kent Institute of Art and Design, Edge Hill College of Higher Education, Laban Centre, London, The Surrey Institute of Art and Design, the Southampton Institute and York St John College from the list of bodies appearing to the Secretary of State to fall within (a) above. It also removes University of Wales, Cardiff and University of Wales, College of Medicine from the list of bodies appearing to the Secretary of State to fall within (b) above. It also reflects the fact that Trinity College of Music has changed its name.
