The Education (Determination of Admission Arrangements) Regulations 1999
Section 89 of the School Standards and Framework Act 1998 provides that the admission authority for every maintained school must determine the school’s admission arrangements for each school year in accordance with the requirements set out in that section. These Regulations make provision for a number of purposes relating to the requirements of section 89. The Regulations come into force on 1st April 1999, except that regulations 3 to 7 do not apply for arrangements to admit pupils any earlier than the school year 2001/2002 (S.I. 1998/3165 deals with admission arrangements for the school year 2000/2001).
