## Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)
The Education (School Day and School Year) (Wales) Regulations 2003 (“the 2003 Regulations”) apply to schools maintained by local authorities and to special schools (whether or not so maintained). They make provision (among other things) for a school day which is ordinarily to be divided into two sessions (with a break in the middle), and for schools (other than nursery schools) to meet for at least 380 sessions during any school year.
These Regulations amend regulation 5 in the 2003 Regulations to provide for up to four sessions in the 2011—2012 school year to count as sessions on which the school met if they were devoted to improving teaching standards or management practices of school staff with a view to improving or assessing the literacy and numeracy skills of pupils at the school.
