# The Education (School Performance Targets) (England) (Amendment) Regulations 2006, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Education (School Performance Targets) (England) Regulations 2004 (S.I. 2004/2858, as amended by S.I. 2004/3323 and 2005/2449) (“the principal Regulations”) so that a governing body is required to set targets for the proportion of pupils aged 15 to achieve the level 2 threshold in approved external qualifications including grades A* - C in GCSE English and Mathematics (regulation 4).
The effect of this change is that―
(a) by regulation 8 of the principal Regulations, the governing body is required to report the targets (as soon as practicable after they are set and by no later than 15 January in the relevant school year) to the relevant Local Education Authority (LEA);
(b) the LEA is required to report these targets to the Secretary of State pursuant to regulation 5 of the Education (Local Education Authority Performance Targets) (England) Regulations 2005 (S.I. 2005/2450, as amended by S.I. 2006/3150).
A consequential drafting amendment is also made (regulation 3).
