EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations make a minor amendment to the School Admissions (Admission Arrangements) (England) Regulations 2008.

These Regulations amend regulation 31(2) so as to remove the requirement to publish a copy of the adjudicator-�s full determination in the local newspaper. New regulation 31A now provides that a notice of the determination must be published rather than the entire report. This notice must contain details of how a full copy of the report can be obtained.
