• “make” (“gwneud”), in relation to a transitional exemption order, includes vary or revoke;

• “the responsible body” (“y corff sy’n gyfrifol”) has the same meaning as in section 85 of the 2010 Act;

• “single-sex school” (“ysgol un rhyw”) has the same meaning as in paragraph 1 of Schedule 11 to the 2010 Act;

• “transitional exemption order” (“gorchymyn esemptio trosiannol”) has the same meaning as in paragraph 3 of Schedule 11 to the 2010 Act.
