Paragraph 9 I1

the number of parents standing for election is less than the number of vacancies;

at least 50 per cent of the registered pupils at the school are boarders and the appropriate authority thinks it would not be reasonably practicable for there to be an election of parent governors; or

in the case of a school which is a community special or foundation special school established in a hospital, it would, in the opinion of the appropriate authority, be impractical for there to be an election of parent governors.
