Explanatory note

These Regulations amend the Education (School Day and School Year) (Wales) Regulations 2000 (“the 2000 Regulations”). The 2000 Regulations make provisions about the length of the school day and the school year and further make provision for the number of school sessions that may be devoted to the training of teachers in school teachers' appraisal, the school teachers' pay system and school staffing structures.

These Regulations extend the period within which school sessions may be devoted wholly or mainly to the training of teachers in school teachers' appraisal, the school teachers' pay system or school staffing structures (set out in regulation 4 of the 2000 Regulations).
