# The Pupils' Registration (Amendment) Regulations 1987, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
The Pupils' Registration Regulations 1956 provide (among other things) in the case of maintained schools, for the name of a pupil to be deleted from the Admission Register maintained under those Regulations upon the pupil being excluded, other than temporarily, from such a school, but with the proviso that the pupil’s name shall be reinstated if, in the result of an appeal, the Secretary of State determines that the pupil has been excluded on other than reasonable grounds (regulation 4(a)(x)).
These Regulations amend those 1956 Regulations in the light of the new right of appeal in cases of expulsion introduced by the Education (No. 2) Act 1986.
The requirement in regulation 4(a)(x) of the 1956 Regulations to delete a pupil’s name where he has been permanently excluded from school is amended so that, in a case where the local education authority or the governing body are under the duty described in section 24(a) or 25(a) of the Education (No. 2) Act 1986 to decide whether an expelled pupil should be reinstated, it does not arise until they have decided that he should not be reinstated.
The reference to an appeal to the Secretary of State in the proviso to regulation 4(a)(x) of the 1956 Regulations is removed in favour of a provision which requires a pupil’s name to be restored to the Admission Register in any case where he ceases to be excluded from the school.
