Section 1 Enlargement of controlled schools.F1
England and Wales
If upon the application of a local education authority and the managers or governors of a controlled school maintained by the authority the Secretary of State is satisfied—
that there should be a significant enlargement of the school premises; and
either—
that the enlargement is wholly or mainly required for the purpose of providing accommodation for pupils for whom accommodation would have been provided in some other voluntary school if that other school had not been discontinued or had not otherwise ceased to be available for the purpose; or
that the enlargement is desirable for the better provision of primary or secondary education at the premises to be enlarged or for securing that there is available for the area of the authority a sufficiency of suitable primary or secondary schools or for both those reasons;
then, if proposals for carrying out the enlargement are thereafter approved under F2section 13 of the Education Act 1980 . . . F3, the Secretary of State may by order direct that the expense of giving effect to those proposals shall be paid by the local education authority.
