# The Education (School Inspection) (No. 2) (Amendment) Regulations 1997, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations substitute a new regulation 4 in the Education (School Inspection) (No. 2) Regulations 1993 (S.I. 1993/1986). The effect is to extend by two years the period within which the Chief Inspector is to secure the second and subsequent inspections of a school by a registered inspector.
Secondly it provides that, in the case of schools to which the inspection provisions contained in section 10 of the School Inspections Act 1996 (c. 57) apply for the first time after the periods set out in regulation 4(2), the Chief Inspector is to secure their inspection by a registered inspector within six years from the end of the school year in which that section first applies and following that inspection within six school years from the end of the school year in which the last inspection took place.
The current regulation 4 was inserted by the Education (School Inspection) (No. 2) (Amendment) (No. 2) Regulations 1996 (S.I. 1996/3099). Those Regulations are revoked by these Regulations.
