The revocations relate to schools which have closed. Under section 124A of the School Standards and Framework Act 1998, independent schools which are designated as having a religious character are permitted to take account of certain religious or denominational considerations in making specified employment decisions which relate to teaching staff (such as decisions on appointment or promotion). Designation by this Order is not of itself a means of acquiring a religious character or of changing religious character. Designation is the recognition of certain existing attributes of the school or its governing body as described in the Religious Character of Schools (Designation Procedure) (Independent Schools) (England) Regulations 2003 (S.I. 2003/2314, as amended by S.I. 2004/2262). --- Source: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2014/2342 (the official version) Page: https://openlegislation.uk/designation-of-schools-having-a-religious-character-independent-schools-england-no-2-order-2014 Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0.
