EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations, which come into force on 27th February 2007, amend The Education (Aptitude for Particular Subjects) Regulations 1999 in relation to England. The 1999 Regulations set out the list of subjects prescribed for the purposes of section 102(1) of the School Standards and Framework Act 1998 (permitted selection: aptitude for particular subjects).
These amending Regulations provide that two of those subjects shall not be prescribed in relation to admission to maintained schools in England with effect for the school year 2008-9 and subsequent years, unless they were included in a school's admission arrangements in relation to the school year 2007-2008.
The Department considers that these Regulations will have no effect on the costs of businesses and accordingly a Regulatory Impact Assessment has not been prepared.
