# The Education (Infant Class Sizes) (England) (Amendment) Regulations 2006, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Education (Infant Class Sizes) (England) Regulations 1998 and come into force on 27th February 2007.
They make two amendments to the categories of excepted pupils set out in the Schedule to the Regulations.
First, they add a new category - looked after children who are admitted to schools outside a normal admission round.
Second, they amend an existing category - those for whom there are no other suitable schools within a reasonable distance from their home - by providing that a pupil cannot be treated as falling within this category unless the relevant LEA confirms that he does.
The Department considers that these Regulations will have no effect on the costs of businesses and accordingly a Regulatory Impact Assessment has not been prepared.
