Regulation 3 General

A school may select a child for an assisted place if, and only if, the school is satisfied that all the conditions mentioned in this Part are, so far as relevant, fulfilled in his case.

Nothing in this regulation shall prevent a child from being provisionally selected for an assisted place subject to the condition that the child will not be finally selected for that place until it is ascertained that all such conditions are fulfilled.

If a school shall ascertain that any relevant condition specified in this Part is not satisfied in respect of a child provisionally selected for an assisted place, the school shall withdraw that assisted place forthwith, and the parents shall be liable to repay any remission of fees provisionally allowed by the school.

It shall be a condition that parents seeking an assisted place for their child at a school shall have applied for an assisted place by the time and in the manner and form specified by the Secretary of State pursuant to regulation 16.

In this Part “first assisted year” means the school year in which the child would take up an assisted place if selected therefor.
