A single-sex institution is an institution to which section 91 applies, which—

a

admits students of one sex only, or

b

on the basis of the assumption in sub-paragraph (3), would be taken to admit students of one sex only.

That assumption is that students of the opposite sex are to be disregarded if—

a

their admission to the institution is exceptional, or

b

their numbers are comparatively small and their admission is confined to particular courses or classes.

In the case of an institution which is a single-sex institution by virtue of sub-paragraph (3)(b), section 91(2)(a) to (d), so far as relating to sex, does not prohibit confining students of the same sex to particular courses or classes.
