Regulation 8 Application of Regulations to special schools in hospitals

This Regulation shall apply in the case of a special school which provides wholly or mainly for pupils who reside as patients, and receive education, in a hospital.

Paragraph 5 of the Schedule (premises) shall not apply in the case of the school and paragraphs 9 (health of pupils) and 11 (milk, meals and refreshment) thereof shall only apply in relation to such pupils, if any, as do not reside as patients in the hospital.

If the governing body of the school make arrangements approved by the Secretary of State in relation to any matter mentioned in any other provision of these Regulations then, in relation to that matter, that provision shall not apply; but a failure to comply with any requirement mentioned in the approved arrangements shall, for the purposes of Regulation 7, be treated as a failure to comply with a requirement contained in these Regulations.
