(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations further amend the Education (Publication and Consultation Etc.) (Scotland) Regulations 1981. They extend the range of proposals prescribed in Schedule 2 to the 1981 Regulations for the purposes of section 22B of the Education (Scotland) Act 1980. Proposals prescribed for the purposes of section 22B require the consent of the Secretary of State before being implemented. These proposals now include proposals to discontinue a school or any stage of school education in a school or to change the site of a school or to vary the delineated area of a school, at which the number of pupils in attendance exceeds 80% of that school’s pupil capacity.
