(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Education (School Performance Information) (England) Regulations 1999 ("the principal Regulations") which relate to the collection and publication of information about the performance of schools.
Regulation 14(6)(b) of the principal Regulations is amended to remove the requirement that local education authorities publish the information required by that regulation before 24th February in each year. The amended regulation requires local education authorities to publish the information within three weeks of receipt of a written request by the Secretary of State.
Paragraph 5 of Schedule 5 (provision of general information about secondary schools to the Secretary of State) has been amended to require the governing body of every maintained secondary school, except a middle deemed secondary school, and the proprietor of every non-maintained special school or independent school with pupils aged 15 to provide the Secretary of State with information as to the numbers of pupils aged 15 who have special educational needs instead of the numbers of registered pupils aged 15 who have statements of special educational needs.
Paragraph 8 of Schedule 6 (provision of information by governing bodies of maintained schools and proprietors of independent schools to the Secretary of State and publication of information by local education authorities in respect of primary schools) has been amended to require that information be provided to the Secretary of State and published by local education authorities as to the number of registered pupils at or near the end of the final year of the second key stage who have special educational needs instead of the numbers of registered pupils who have statements of special educational needs.
