This is the original version (as it was originally made). Wales Statutory Instruments are not carried in their revised form on this site.

Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Order)

Section 512(3) of the Education Act 1996, as amended by section 201 of the Education Act 2002 places a duty on Local Education Authorities to provide school lunches to pupils eligible for free school lunches and others, provided any prescribed requirements are met. This Order prescribes such a requirement.

The requirement is set out in article 3. It only applies to registered pupils receiving nursery education; they must be present for two full sessions on any day on which they attend school for there to be a duty to provide lunch on that day.

Article 4 contains a transitional provision, to prevent pupils receiving part-time nursery education at maintained schools for whom school lunches are already being provided immediately before 1 April 2003, from losing their entitlement to such lunches.

Article 5 revokes the Education (School Lunches) (Prescribed Requirement) (Wales) Order 2003.
