# The Education (Eligibility of Primary Schools for Grant-maintained Status) Order 1990, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Order)
Section 52(6) of the Education Reform Act 1988 provides that primary schools which have less than 300 pupils are not eligible for grant-maintained status. This Order removes that limitation and provides that all primary schools shall be so eligible, subject to the general provisions in subsections (8) and (9) of section 52. Subsections (6) and (7), which in consequence of this Order are spent, are repealed.
