COMMENTARY ON SECTIONS

PART 1 Local Curriculum for Pupils in Key Stage 4

Sections 4-18 insert new provisions into the Education Act 2002

Section 10 Delivery of local curriculum entitlements (section 116G of the Education Act 2002)

38.This section sets out the duty placed upon a school governing body to deliver local curriculum entitlements during Key Stage 4. The section provides that where a pupil is entitled to follow a course, the course must be made available to the pupil by, or on behalf of, the governing body of his or her school. This means courses of study in the local curriculum may be offered at a different learning setting to the one at which the pupil is registered.
