Education and Inspections Act 2006

Section 22: Right of governing body to determine own foundation proposals

106.Subsections (1) to (3) provide that regulations under section 21, in relation to proposals under section 19 by a governing body of a community or voluntary controlled school to change category to a foundation school, must provide for the proposals to be determined by the governing body, and not be referred to the adjudicator. This applies only if the proposals do not involve the acquisition of a foundation or a change to the instrument of government which results in the majority of governors being foundation governors. Similar provision is made in respect of proposals for a change of category from community special school to foundation special school.

107.Subsections (4) and (5) provide that, in relation to certain proposals published under section 19 by a governing body which involve the acquisition of a foundation, or result in the majority of the governors being foundation governors, regulations under section 19 must provide for the proposals to be determined by the governing body unless the local education authority wish them to be referred to the adjudicator.
