EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Order)

The Schedule to this Order makes amendments that are consequential on the creation of new types of Academies by the Education Act 2011 (“the 2011 Act”). Section 53 of the 2011 Act inserts new sections 1A to 1D into the Academies Act 2010 which provide for three types of Academies: Academy schools (existing Academies), 16 to 19 Academies and alternative provision Academies.

The Schedule to the Order makes amendments to existing legislation to ensure that it applies correctly, or does not apply, to alternative provision Academies. The Order also includes a transitional provision.
