The Education (Head Teachers) Regulations 1999
These Regulations make transitional provision in relation to the prospective repeal of Part II of the Education Act 1996. In relation to county, voluntary and maintained special schools organised in two or more departments, each with a head teacher, section 132 of that Act provides that provisions of the Act conferring functions on the head teacher have effect as if each department was a separate school. It is proposed to commence the repeal on 1st September 1999 (the appointed day for the purposes of section 20(7) of the School Standards and Framework Act 1998) when the schools to which section 132 relates will enter new categories.
