(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Information as to Provision of Education (England) Regulations 2008 (S.I. 2008/4) which prescribe the information that local authorities are required each year to provide to the Secretary of State in relation to the provision of primary and secondary education in their area.
These Regulations amend the requirement for local authorities to provide information on the total numbers of applications made, preferences expressed and offers made for school places in respect of children living in their area, to a requirement that local authorities provide this information in respect of each individual child. They extend the requirement that local authorities provide this information for secondary schools to include the same information about places in primary schools, and to coincide with the Primary National Offer Day on 16 April. Local authorities are required to provide this information no later than five working days after the relevant National Offer Day.
