Education (Assisted Places) (Amendment) (Wales) Regulations 2005 No. 2838 (W. 202) OPSI - Education (Assisted Places) (Amendment) (Wales) Regulations
Summary: These Regulations amend the Education (Assisted Places) Regulations 1997 for the purposes of a "relevant remission question". This is a remission question under the 1997 Regulations that arises in respect of a school year beginning on or after 1 September 2005 and which has not been determined on the date on which these Regulations come into force.
The 1997 Regulations provide arrangements for the remission of school fees for pupils who are eligible to continue to hold assisted places at independent schools by virtue of section 2 of the Education (Schools) Act 1997, notwithstanding the abolition of the assisted places scheme by section 1 of that Act.
The deduction to be made in "relevant" income in respect of dependent relatives under regulation 10(4) and (6) of the 1997 Regulations is increased from £1,540 to £1,575.
Where "relevant" income is at or below a particular level, fees are to be wholly remitted. That level is increased from £11,935 to £12,182, with corresponding increases in the extent of the remission where "relevant" income exceeds that sum.

Made Under: Education (Schools) Act 1997 (C. 59) - under the powers conferred on the Secretary of State by section 3(1), (2), (5) and (9) of that Act and now exercisable by the National Assembly for Wales and having consulted, in accordance with section 3(7) of the Education (Schools) Act 1997, such bodies as appear to it to be appropriate and representative of schools which provide assisted places under section 2(1)
