# The Education (School Performance Information) (England) (Amendment) Regulations 1996, Note: Explanatory note


This note is not part of the Regulations
These Regulations amend the Education (School Performance Information) (England) Regulations 1994 (“the principal Regulations”).
They make provision relating to the information to be made available to the Secretary of State under regulation 7 of, and Schedule 2 to, the principal Regulations. In the case of a school providing information in relation to pupils aged 15, that information is now to include particulars in relation to General National Vocational Qualifications, National Vocational Qualifications, or units of both such qualifications, the Diploma of Vocational Education and the Initial Awards. These are awarded by named educational institutions and approved under section 5 of the Education Reform Act 1988 (regulation 3).
In the case of schools providing information in relation to pupils aged 16, 17 or 18, that information is now to include particulars in relation to Intermediate General National Vocational Qualifications, the First Certificate or Diploma of the Business and Technology Education Council and the Diploma of Vocational Education of the City and Guilds of London Institute at intermediate level (regulation 5).
The reference to the “10 level scale” in Schedule 1 to the principal Regulations is substituted by a reference to the National Curriculum level scale (regulation 2).
