(This note is not part of the Regulations)
Section 63 of the School Standards and Framework Act 1998 gives power to the Secretary of State to make regulations relating to the setting of school attendance targets by governing bodies of maintained schools.
The 1998 Act defines "maintained school" by reference to the new categories into which schools maintained by local education authorities will be divided on or after the day appointed by the Secretary of State for the purposes of section 20 of the Act, namely 1st September 1999. These Regulations modify references in section 63 of the Act to a maintained school so that, until that date, they will be construed as references to a school falling within one of the categories of maintained school provided for in the Education Act 1996.
