(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations make minor amendments to the Education (School Performance Information) (Wales) Regulations 2004 ("the 2004 Regulations").
Regulation 2(4) amends paragraph 2 of Schedule 1 to the 2004 Regulations so that it is no longer possible for a governing body to record a pupil´s absence as the reason for not providing the results of all or some of their statutory assessments. Instead the amended paragraph 2 of Schedule 1 to the 2004 Regulations provides that a governing body may record that a pupil´s statutory assessments are not available or only partly available for reasons other than the pupil being exempted under sections 113 or 114 of the Education Act 2002.
1996 c. 56. Section 29(3) was substituted by paragraph 67 of Schedule 30 to the School Standards and Framework Act 1998 (c. 31). Section 408 was amended by paragraph 30 of Schedule 7 and Schedule 8 to the Education Act 1997 (c. 44), paragraphs 57 and 106 of Schedule 30 and Schedule 31 to the School Standards and Framework Act 1998 and paragraph 57 of Schedule 9 to the Learning and Skills Act 2000 (c. 21). Section 537 was amended by paragraph 37 of Schedule 7 to the Education Act 1997, paragraphs 57 and 152 of Schedule 30 to the School Standards and Framework Act 1998 and paragraph 60 of Schedule 9 to the Learning and Skills Act 2000.
