Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations make corrections in the Education (Areas to which Pupils and Students Belong) Regulations 1989 (“the principal Regulations”).

The definition of “ordinary residence” in regulation 2(b) of the principal Regulations is amended to make it clear that a school pupil is not to be regarded as ordinarily resident in the area of a local education authority by reason only of his residing as a boarder at a school which is situated in the area of that authority—regulation 3.

New provision is made by regulation 4 for the case where the circumstances of a boarding school pupil change, if that pupil has been placed in the school by a local education authority or received financial assistance from such an authority.

Regulation 15 of the principal Regulations (pupils and students resident in refugee camps) is amended to make it clear that it applies to the exclusion of other regulations—regulation 6.

Drafting amendments are made by regulation 5 to regulation 8 of the principal Regulations (school pupils resident in hospital).
