Explanatory note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Education (Assisted Places) (Scotland) Regulations 1989 to uprate the qualifying income levels for the remission of fees and charges and the making of grants under the assisted places scheme and in certain other respects.
The level of income at or below which fees are to be wholly remitted is increased from £9,522 to £9,616 with corresponding increases in the extent of remission where the relevant income exceeds that sum (regulations 2 and 6).
The qualifying income levels for school travel grants and clothing grants are also uprated (regulations 3 to 5).
