  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nThese Regulations make a number of changes to the School Governors’ Annual Reports (Wales) Regulations 2011 (“the 2011 Regulations”) as a consequence of section 94 of the School Standards and Organisation (Wales) Act 2013 coming into force on 4 May 2013 (“the 2013 Act”).\nSection 94 of the 2013 Act gives parents a right to petition for a meeting with the governing body of the school at which their child is a registered pupil. Section 95 of the 2013 Act repeals the duty on a governing body to hold an annual parents’ meeting in section 33 of the Education Act 2002.\nParagraphs (2), (3)(a) and (b) and (4) of regulation 2 of these Regulations omit references in the 2011 Regulations to the duty to hold an annual parents’ meeting in section 33 of the Education Act 2002.\nRegulation 5 of the 2011 Regulations provides that a copy of the school governors’ report should be provided free of charge to parents unless one of the exceptions set out in that regulation applies. Paragraph (3)(c) of regulation 2 of these Regulations amends regulation 5 of the 2011 Regulations so as to add to the list of exceptions of when a free copy of the governors’ report must be provided to parents of registered pupils.\nParagraphs (5) and (6) of regulation 2 of these Regulations amend the 2011 Regulations so as to require a governing body to include certain information relating to its duty to hold a parents’ meeting in section 94 of the 2013 Act in its annual report.",
