(5)The proprietor of an Academy designated under section 8A must ensure that religious education is provided at the Academy for all pupils who wish to receive it.

(b)“trust deed” includes any instrument (other than the articles or memorandum of association) regulating the constitution of the proprietor of the Academy or the maintenance, management or conduct of the Academy.”

(a)in subsection (2), the words “sections 28 and 29(1)(b) so far as the power under each of those provisions is exercisable by the Secretary of State, and” were omitted, and

(iii)English higher education providers,
(b)the need for excluding from publication, so far as practicable, any information which relates to the affairs of a particular body or individual, where publication of that information would or might, in the opinion of the OfS, seriously and prejudicially affect the interests of that body or individual, and
(c)the public interest.
(6)For the purposes of this section and sections 67B and 67C—
(a)a reference to a decision includes a reference to the reasons for it, and
(b)any decision made in the course of exercising, or for the purposes of enabling the OfS to exercise, any of the OfS’s functions (including making any other decision) is made “in the performance of its functions”.
(1)This section applies where under section 67A(1) the OfS publishes a decision to conduct an investigation.
(2)If the publication identifies a higher education provider or other body or individual whose activities are being, or to be, investigated, and—
(a)the OfS terminates the investigation without making any finding, or
(b)the findings of the investigation, so far as they relate to the higher education provider, body or individual, do not result in the OfS taking any further action,
the OfS must publish a notice stating that fact.
(3)Section 67C does not apply to the publication of the decision to conduct the investigation to the extent that it includes information other than—
(a)a statement of the OfS’s decision to conduct the investigation,
(b)a summary of the matter being, or to be, investigated, and
(c)a reference to the identity of any higher education provider or other body or individual whose activities are being, or to be, investigated.
(4)See section 67A(6) for the meaning of references to decisions.
(1)For the purposes of the law of defamation, publication by the OfS of any notice, decision or report given or made in the performance of its functions is privileged unless the publication is shown to have been made with malice.
This is subject to section 67B.
