The Education (Grant-maintained Schools) (Finance) (Wales) Regulations 1994
The provisions of sections 81(2), 82(2), 83(2), 88, 89, 90 and 94 of the Education Act 1993 largely re-enact for Wales (prior to the establishment of the Schools Funding Council for Wales) provisions formerly contained in sections 79 to 82 of the Education Reform Act 1988 (which are repealed by these Regulations), under which earlier regulations have been made. There are a few changes. Sums in respect of maintenance grant are, under sections 93 and 94 of the 1993 Act, now recoverable from a local education authority determined by the Secretary of State (“the relevant authority”); not, as formerly, from the local education authority by whom the school was maintained before it became grant-maintained. Other minor changes are reflected in the wording of the present Regulations. The principal relevant new provisions in the 1993 Act are the provisions for establishing new grant-maintained schools, grant-maintained special schools and groups of grant-maintained schools under a single governing body. However, the present Regulations do not extend to new grant-maintained schools or grant-maintained special schools.
