EDUCATION, ENGLAND AND WALES

These Regulations, made primarily under section 127 of the Education Act 1993, lay down the procedure for schools maintained by local education authorities to become grant–maintained schools or grant–maintained special schools either in a new group or by joining an existing group. The Regulations also provide for existing grant–maintained schools to group together, for a grant–maintained school to join an existing group, and for groups to merge.
