The Education (Individual Pupil Information) (Prescribed Persons) (Wales) Regulations 2004

Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations revoke and replace the Education (Individual Pupil Information) (Prescribed Persons) (Wales) Regulations 1999.

They prescribe which persons may be provided with “individual pupil information” under section 537A(4) and (5) of the Education Act 1996 (regulation 3).

These Regulations also prescribe which individual pupil information may be provided by “information collators”. Applying the definition of an information collator in section 537A(9) to Wales, an information collator is any body which, for the purposes of or in connection with the education functions of the National Assembly for Wales, is responsible for collating or checking information relating to pupils. The information which they may provide by these Regulations relates to the educational achievements of pupils in any National Curriculum assessment of pupils in the first, second or third key stage, any GCSE subjects, any GCE “A” level examinations, any GCE “AS” examinations, any GNVQ subjects and any course of study provided to pupils of compulsory school age in a school maintained by a local education authority leading to a qualification which is approved by the National Assembly for Wales or by a body designated by the National Assembly under section 99 of the Learning and Skills Act 2000 (regulation 3(3)).
