Paragraph 9 Excepted PupilsI1
England and Wales
Subject to sub-paragraph (3), this paragraph applies to a child admitted to the school outside a normal admission round—
where education at a school which is Welsh-speaking is desired, and
the school is the only such school within a reasonable distance of the child's home.
In sub-paragraph (1) "a school which is Welsh-speaking" ("ysgol Gymraeg") has the meaning given in section 105(7) of the Education Act 2002.
Where the admission authority for the school in question is not the local authority the child will not be an excepted child under this paragraph unless the local authority has confirmed in writing that there are no places available at another Welsh-speaking school within a reasonable distance of the child's home.
