The School Standards and Framework Act 1998 (Amendment of Commencement Orders) (England) Order 1999
This Order amends the School Standards and Framework Act 1998 (Commencement No. 6 and Saving and Transitional Provisions) Order 1999 (“the No. 6 Commencement Order”) and the School Standards and Framework Act 1998 (Commencement No. 7 and Saving and Transitional Provisions) Order 1999 (“the No. 7 Commencement Order”). It amends the No. 6 Commencement Order by inserting a further saving and transitional provision in Schedule 4. It applies to schools established pursuant to proposals published under the Education Act 1996 and which first admit pupils in the 1999–2000 school year. It allows for admission arrangements determined for such schools under section 422 of the 1996 Act before 1st September 1999 to continue to have effect in relation to that school year; and for applications for admission, and appeals against admission decisions, made before that date to be dealt with in accordance with section 422(6). The new provision will have effect notwithstanding the coming into force on 1st September 1999 of the repeal of section 422 of the 1996 Act.
