In such a case that latter syllabus continues to be the agreed syllabus for religious education in relation to the school until the end of the period prescribed by the Secretary of State in this Order or such earlier date as the governing body may determine. This Order prescribes the period as one of 5 years commencing on 1st September 1999.
