Regulation 7 Exemption if parents do not respond to the notice of meeting

The governing body is exempt from the obligation imposed by section 33(1) of the 2002 Act to hold an annual parents' meeting in any school year in which it gives to parents with the governors' report a notice asking parents to state in writing within a specified period of not less than 7 days if they require the governing body to hold an annual parents' meeting and the parents of fewer than 5% of registered pupils respond within the specified period.
