The Education (Proportion of Selective Admissions) Regulations 1998
Sections 100 and 102 of the School Standards and Framework Act 1998 permit the admission arrangements for a maintained school to contain certain forms of provision for the selection of pupils. One of the requirements under section 100 is that the proportion of selective admissions must not increase above the level set by the admission arrangements that applied at the beginning of the 1997/98 school year. Section 102 requires that the proportion of pupils selected by reference to aptitude for certain subjects must not exeed 10%.
