Statutory Instruments
EDUCATION, ENGLAND AND WALES
Made
13th August 1999
Laid before Parliament
16th August 1999
Coming into force
1st September 1999
In exercise of the powers conferred by section 144(1) of the School Standards and Framework Act 1998(1), the Secretary of State for Education and Employment hereby makes the following Regulations:
1. These Regulations may be cited as the Education (Modification of Instruments Relating to Voluntary Schools) Regulations 1999 and shall come into force on 1st September 1999.
2. Any provision of an instrument relating to any land held for the purposes of a voluntary school which-
(a)confers on any person an option to acquire an interest in that land, or
(b)provides (in whatever terms) for the determination or forfeiture of any such interest,
in the event of the school's ceasing to be a voluntary school or ceasing to be either a grant-maintained school or a voluntary school shall, if the school becomes a foundation school, have effect as if the event referred to were the school's ceasing to be a school which is either a foundation school or a voluntary school.
David Blunkett
Secretary of State for Education and Employment
13th August 1999
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations apply in the following circumstances to a voluntary school, or a grant-maintained school which was formerly a voluntary school, which becomes a foundation school. The circumstances are that there is provision in an instrument relating to any land originally held for the purposes of the voluntary school conferring on any person an option to acquire an interest in that land, or providing for the determination or forfeiture of an interest in that land, if the school ceases to be a voluntary school or ceases to be either a grant-maintained school or a voluntary school. This latter would be the case if section 303 of the Education Act 1996 (c. 56) has applied in respect of the school. In those circumstances the event referred to becomes instead a reference to the school ceasing to be a school which is either a foundation school or a voluntary school.
