# The School Travel (Pupils with Dual Registration) (England) (Amendment) Regulations 2025, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the School Travel (Pupils with Dual Registration) (England) Regulations 2007 (S.I. 2007/1367) (the “2007 Regulations”). The 2007 Regulations modify section 508B(1) and (2) of, and paragraph 3(1) and (2) of Schedule 35C to, the Education Act 1996 in relation to the duties placed on local authorities in England to arrange free home to school travel for children who are registered at more than one school.
Regulation 2 of these Regulations amends regulation 2(4)(c) of the 2007 Regulations by substituting the definition of a “child who has no fixed abode” for the purposes of regulation 2(2) and (3) of the 2007 Regulations. Prior to the amendment made by these Regulations, regulation 2(4)(c) of the 2007 Regulations defined a “child who has no fixed abode” as a child falling within the meaning given in regulation 9(1)(a) of the Education (Pupil Registration) (England) Regulations 2006 (S.I. 2006/1751) (the “2006 Regulations”). The 2006 Regulations have been revoked by the School Attendance (Pupil Registration) (England) Regulations 2024 (S.I. 2024/208), necessitating the amendment made by these Regulations. The new definition of a “child who has no fixed abode” in regulation 2(4)(c) of the 2007 Regulations mirrors the wording of regulation 9(1)(a) of the 2006 Regulations, with minor changes to ensure gender-neutral drafting.
A full impact assessment has not been produced as no, or no significant impact on the private, voluntary or public sector is foreseen.
