# The School Standards and Framework Act 1998 (Admissions) (Modifications No. 2) Regulations 1998, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations modify provisions of the School Standards and Framework Act 1998. Chapter I of Part III of the Act deals with arrangements for the admission of pupils to maintained schools and includes provisions on codes of practice, parental preference for particular schools, determination and publication of admission arrangements, and appeals against non-admission.
Regulation 2 modifies the definition of “maintained school” in section 84(6) to enable provisions in Chapter I to apply, where appropriate, to the existing framework of maintained schools during the period before the new statutory framework comes into force on 1st September 1999.
Regulation 3 modifies the definition of “the admission authority” in section 88(1) of the Act, for the period before the new framework comes into force, to ensure consistency with the existing framework and with the definition of that term in the Education Act 1996.
