The Endowment has been shown to the satisfaction of the Welsh Ministers to be or to have been held in connection with the provision of religious education in accordance with the tenets of the Church in Wales at a voluntary school within the meaning of section 32 of the Education Act 19961, the premises of which have ceased to be used for the purposes of a school.

Notice of the proposed Order and of the right of persons interested to make representations has been given in accordance with the provisions of section 555 of the Education Act 1996.
