  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nThese Regulations amend the Education (School Organisation Proposals) (England) Regulations 1999 (No. 2213) (“the principal Regulations”).\nRegulation 3 amends regulation 9 of the principal Regulations, which permits conditional approval to be given to proposals for the establishment, alteration and discontinuance of schools maintained by local education authorities other than special schools. Approval of proposals relating to a school which is the subject of the proposals (“the subject school”) may be made conditional upon a foundation body for a group of schools (of which it is intended the subject school should form part) becoming operative, or the subject school forming part of a group for which an existing foundation body acts. In addition, where proposals relating to the subject school are linked to a prescribed event occuring by a specific date in relation to proposals relating to another school (“a linked school”), approval of the subject school’s proposals may now be made conditional upon a linked school’s approval taking effect.\nRegulation 4 amends Part IV of Schedule 3 to the principal Regulations regarding the additional information to be sent to a School Organisation Committee (or, as the case may be, to the Secretary of State) where the proposals are to cease providing sixth form education at a mainstream school. More specific information is now to be provided about examination results at institutions to which pupils at the subject school have transferred in the two school years before the current school year, and at those to which pupils at that school may transfer if the proposals are approved.",
