(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Designation of Schools Having a Religious Character (England) Order 1999, which designates the foundation and voluntary schools named in the Schedule to the Order as having a religious character and states the particular religion or religious denomination in accordance with whose tenets religious education is, or may be, required to be provided.
The amendment corrects a factual mistake in the Schedule, which wrongly stated Tiffin School in Kingston upon Thames as having a Church of England religious character.
1998 c.31. By virtue of S.I. 1999/672 the powers conferred by these provisions are exercisable by the Secretary of State only in relation to England.
For the procedure to be followed in making changes to religious designations or statements as to the relevant religion or religious denomination see S.I. 1998/2535, to which there are amendments not relevant to this Order.
S.I. 1999/2432
The postcode of the school is KT2 6RL.
