The Education (Local Curriculum for Students Aged 16 to 18) (Wales) Regulations 2011
The Learning and Skills (Wales) Measure 2009 (“the Measure”) inserted new provisions into Part 2 of the Learning and Skills Act 2000 (“the 2000 Act”). Part 2 of the 2000 Act concerns school sixth forms and further education institutions in Wales. As a result of Part 2 of the Measure the curriculum in school sixth forms and institutions in the further education sector in Wales, are expanded to include the local curriculum entitlements of pupils who have ceased to be of compulsory school age, but who have not yet attained the age of 19. These Regulations make provision as to the elections a student may make, the head teacher’s or principal’s decision as to entitlement, the determination of a pupil’s relevant school or institution and the head teacher’s or principal’s decision to remove an entitlement.
