The Education (Determining School Admission Arrangements for the Initial Year) Regulations 1998
Section 89 of the School Standards and Framework Act 1998 requires the admission authority for every maintained school to determine the school’s admission arrangements for each school year in accordance with the requirements of that section. These Regulations make provision for a number of purposes relating to section 89, so far as it will apply to the determination of the admission arrangements for schools for the 2000/2001 school year (called in the Regulations “the initial year”). Under regulation 2, admission arrangements are “for the initial year” if 2000/2001 is the school year in which pupils will be admitted to the school as a result of the arrangements. The Regulations come into force on 6th January 1999.
