Section 55 – Curriculum implementation

126.This section, again, applies to a local authority that makes arrangements under section 19A of the 1996 Act to provide education for a child otherwise than at a PRU. It requires the local authority to ensure that the arrangements make sure that the curriculum for the child is implemented in accordance with the requirements set out in subsections (1) and (2).

127.These requirements include a requirement to implement the curriculum in a way that takes account of the child’s ALN (if any).
