Education (Scotland) Act 2025

Education (Scotland) Act 2016

264.Paragraph 26 of schedule 4 modifies the Education (Scotland) Act 2016 to replace the reference in section 12(3) of that Act to Her Majesty’s inspectors of schools with a reference to His Majesty’s Chief Inspector of Education in Scotland. This ensures that this section will apply to His Majesty’s Chief Inspector of Education in Scotland as it applied to Her Majesty’s inspectors of schools. This means that the Chief Inspector must be notified by an education authority if it receives a request to assess the need for Gaelic medium primary education and decides to carry out a full assessment of that need.
