# Education Act 1996, Paragraph 8

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

(1) Where—
(a) a child of compulsory school age has been excluded from a relevant school,
(b) he remains for the time being a registered pupil at the school, and
(c) the appropriate authority for the school has made arrangements for the provision of full-time education for him otherwise than at the school or at his home during the period of exclusion,
paragraph 6 has effect as if the place at which the education is provided were a qualifying school and the child were a registered pupil at that school (and not at the school mentioned in paragraph (b)).
(2) For the purposes of sub-paragraph (1)—
(a) “relevant school” and “appropriate authority” have the same meaning as in section 444ZA (application of section 444 to alternative educational provision), and
(b) in relation to a maintained school or a pupil referral unit, references in that sub-paragraph to exclusion are references to exclusion under section 51A of the Education Act 2002.
