Regulation 12 Education
The licensing authority shall not grant a licence unless it is satisfied that the child’s education will not suffer by reason of taking part in the performances for which the licence is requested and it has approved the arrangements (if any) for the education of the child during the currency of the licence.
The holder of the licence shall ensure that the arrangements for the child’s education during the currency of the licence, approved by the licensing authority, are carried out.
The licensing authority shall not approve any arrangements for the education of a child by a private teacher unless it is satisfied that—
the course of study proposed for the child is satisfactory;
the said course of study will be properly taught by the private teacher;
the private teacher is a suitably qualified person to teach the child in question; and
the private teacher will not teach more than five other children at the same time, or, if the other children being taught at the same time have reached a similar standard in the subject to the child in question, eleven.
The licensing authority shall not approve any arrangements for the education of a child by a private teacher unless it is satisfied that the child will, during the currency of the licence, receive education for periods which, when aggregated, total not less than three hours on each day on which the child would be required to attend school if he were a pupil attending a grant-aided school.
The requirements of sub-paragraph (a) shall be deemed to be satisfied if, in a case to which this sub-paragraph applies, the licensing authority is satisfied that the child will receive education—
for not less than six hours a week,
during each complete period of four weeks on location, or, if there is a period on location of less than four weeks, during that period, for periods not less than the aggregate periods of education required by sub-paragraph (a) in respect of the period on location
on days other than days on which the child would not be required to attend school if he were a pupil attending a grant-aided school, and
for not more than five hours on any such day mentioned in (iii).
Sub-paragraph (b) applies—
if the performances to which the licence relates are to be recorded (by whatever means) with a view to their use in a broadcast or in a film intended for public exhibition,
to any period of recording on location exceeding one week.
In calculating any period of education for the purposes of this paragraph there shall be disregarded—
any period which takes place, in the case of a child taking part in a performance to be recorded (by whatever means) with a view to its use in a broadcast or film intended for public exhibition, other than during the hours when he is permitted to be present at a place of performance or rehearsal under regulations 29 to 31, or, in any other case, which takes place other than between the hours of nine in the morning and four in the afternoon,
any period which is less than thirty minutes.
In this paragraph the expression “on location” means at a place which is one mile or more from any film or broadcasting studio (including any land adjacent to the studio and occupied and used in connection with it).
Any licence under which a child is to be taught by a private teacher shall be subject to the condition that the board in whose area the performance takes place approves the schoolroom or other place where the child is to receive education, and the board may give its approval subject to such conditions as it considers necessary to ensure that the place is suitable for the child’s education.
