EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)


These Regulations further amend the Education (Grants) (Music, Ballet and Choir Schools) Regulations 1995. They come into force on 1st September 1998, and have effect in relation to a school year beginning on or after that date.

Schedule 1 to the 1995 Regulations (which establishes the aided pupil scheme, sets out conditions of eligibility for aided places, and provides for remission of fees, payment of grant and administrative provisions) is amended (by regulation 3) as follows:

    (a) the reduction to be made (under paragraph 8) in relevant income in respect of dependent relatives pursuant to sub-paragraphs (3) and (5) is increased to £1,265 (from £1,230);

    (b) the means tests for the remission of fees (in paragraphs 13 and 14) is relaxed: the level of income at or below which fees are to be wholly remitted is set at £8,963 instead of £8,723 (in respect of boarding pupils), and £11,275 instead of £10,972 (in respect of day pupils), with corresponding increases in the extent of remission where relevant income exceeds those sums; and

    (c) the means tests for uniform and travel grants (under paragraphs 17 and 19) are relaxed and the amount of grant payable is increased.

Schedule 3 to the 1995 Regulations is amended in order to add Chetham's School of Music, Manchester, and Polwhele House School, Truro to the list of choir schools in respect of which the Secretary of State is empowered to pay grant pursuant to Part IV of those Regulations. St Edward's College, Liverpool is removed from that list (regulation 4).
