(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations make modifications in connection with the bringing into force of section 27 of the Education Act 2002 on 2nd September 2002, and in connection with the proposed bringing into force of sections 30, 37, and Part 6 of, and Schedule 1 to, the Education Act 2002 on 1st October 2002, relating to community facilities, governors' reports, payments in respect of dismissal etc., and the curriculum in England.
Regulation 2 makes a consequential amendment to the School Standards and Framework Act 1998 in place of a mistake in section 41(2) of the Education Act 2002.
