Section 25 Power to impose further curriculum requirementsI1I2I3I4I5
Regulations may specify further requirements with which a curriculum for a maintained school must comply so far as it applies to pupils within subsection (2).
The pupils are those who have completed the school year in which the majority of the pupils in their class attained the age of 14, but are still of compulsory school age.
The regulations may, among other things, specify provision—
that must be made in a curriculum;
that must not be made in a curriculum.
The regulations may make provision by reference to courses of study (for example, so as to require a curriculum to make provision for a minimum number of courses of study, or for courses of study specified in the regulations).
In this section, “course of study” means a course of education or training that—
leads to a form of qualification or set of forms of qualification approved under Part 4 of the Qualifications Wales Act 2015 (anaw 5) or designated under Part 5 of that Act, or
is designated by the Welsh Ministers under section 34(8) of that Act.
