# The School Governance (Federations) (England) Regulations 2007, Regulation 33: Charitable status of federations


(1) The governing body of a federation which includes a foundation, voluntary or foundation special school is a charity which is an exempt charity for the purposes of the Charities Act 1993, but no governing body of a federation which includes only community, community special or maintained nursery schools is a charity.
(2) So far as it is a charity, any institution which—
(a) is administered by or on behalf of any governing body of a federation which includes a foundation, voluntary or foundation special school; and
(b) is established for the general purposes of, or for any special purpose of, or in connection with, that body or that federation or any foundation, voluntary or foundation special school within that federation,
shall also be an exempt charity for the purposes of the Charities Act 1993.
(3) In this regulation, “charity” and “institution” have the same meaning as in the Charities Act 1993.
