The School Organisation Proposals by the National Council for Education and Training for Wales Regulations 2002
Under Schedule 7 to the Learning and Skills Act 2000 the National Council for Education and Training for Wales (“the Council”) may publish proposals for the alteration of a maintained school so that it no longer provides sixth form education, or for the discontinuance of a maintained school which is a 16—19 institution if, broadly speaking, two successive reports state that the sixth form is inadequate or that a 16—19 institution requires special measures or has significant weaknesses.
