Paragraph 5
The first scheme of management for a grant‐maintained integrated school shall be framed not later than the end of the period of six months beginning with the incorporation date in relation to the school and may be framed before that date to come into force on that date.
In relation to any time on or after the incorporation date when no scheme of management is in force in respect of any such school, the Department may by direction make with respect to the school any provision it considers appropriate for dealing with any matters relating to the school that could be dealt with by a scheme of management.
Any direction under sub‐paragraph (2) in relation to any school—
shall be in writing;
may be given at any time on or after the date on which the proposal for acquisition of grant‐maintained integrated status for the school is approved.
At any time when any such direction is in force in relation to a school, the school shall be managed and controlled in accordance with the provisions of that direction.
The reference in Article 67(1) to any provision of the scheme of management of a grant‐maintained integrated school shall include a reference to any provision of a direction under sub‐paragraph (2) in relation to such a school.
