Estelle Morris Minister of State, Department for Education and Employment 8th February 2000 (This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Education (Exclusion from School) (Prescribed Periods) Regulations 1999 in relation to maintained schools in England.

The effect of regulation 2 is that where the head teacher at such a school excludes any pupil in circumstances where the pupil would, as a result of the exclusion, be excluded from the school for a total of more than five but not more than 15 school days in any one term, the governing body must normally take each of the steps referred to in section 66(2) of the School Standards and Framework Act 1998 not later than 50 school days after receiving notification of the exclusion (rather than 30 school days as previously).

1998 c. 31; by virtue of the National Assembly for Wales (Transfer of Functions) Order 1999 (S.I. 1999/672), the powers conferred by these provisions are exercisable by the Secretary of State only in relation to England. For the definition of “prescribed” and “regulations” see section 142(1). S.I. 1999/1868.
