  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nThese Regulations amend the Education (Admission Appeals Arrangements) (Wales) Regulations 2005, and come into force on 22 April 2009.\nThe amendment in regulation 2(2) requires Appeal Panels hearing appeals which concern infant class size to consider whether the original decision was one which a reasonable admission authority would have made in the circumstances of the case.\nRegulation 2(3) substitutes a new Schedule 2 in the 2005 Regulations. The new Schedule makes provision for appeals in cases where decisions are made about children entering the sixth form, or receiving education after they have ceased to be of compulsory school age. In cases where the child and any parent of the child make appeals in respect of the same school, the appeals must be heard together. The new Schedule removes references to the Council on Tribunals. The Administrative Justice and Tribunals Council, which has replaced the Council on Tribunals, has an automatic right to attend hearings over which it has jurisdiction, so the omitted provisions are no longer required. In addition, observers will be permitted to attend appeal panel hearings for the purposes of appraisal and training.",
