(This note is not part of the Regulations)
The School Standards and Framework Act 1998 ("the 1998 Act") provides for new categories of maintained schools which will replace, from 1st September 1999, the existing categories of such schools. The 1998 Act amends the Education Act 1996 and the School Inspections Act 1996 by substituting references to those new categories and a new definition of the term "maintained school". These regulations amend the Education (School Inspection) (England) Regulations 1997 to reflect those changes made by the 1998 Act.
These Regulations also alter the period of notice that must be given to parents of a parents meeting, and alter the period of time in which a report of an inspection of religious education and collective worship must be prepared.
