# Education (Special Educational Needs) (Approval of Independent Schools) (Amendment) (England) Regulations 2002, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations, which apply only in relation to England, amend the Education (Special Educational Needs) (Approval of Independent Schools) Regulations 1994 which prescribe the requirements to be complied with by an independent school as a condition of its approval as a school suitable for the admission of children for whom statements of special educational needs are maintained under section 324 of the Education Act 1996.
These Regulations remove Academies, city technology colleges and city colleges for the technology of the arts from the scope of the 1994 Regulations. These schools are independent schools funded by the Secretary of State under section 482 of the Education Act 1996. By removing them from the scope of the 1994 Regulations these schools are not required to comply with prescribed requirements as a condition of their approval as suitable to admit children with statements of special educational needs.
