The Education Act 2011
November 28, 2011 2:11 PM
• [Nov 28]: THE Education Act 2011 received Royal Assent on November 15. 'Clause 37 gives effect to Schedule 11 which makes amendments to Part 2 of EIA 2006 in order to give precedence to proposals for academies where there is a need for a new school . . The changes include a new section 6A . . placing a duty on local authorities to seek proposals for the establishment of an academy where there is a need for a new school in their area . . '*; it says: '37 Establishment of new schools: Schedule 11 (establishment of new schools) has effect.'
Schedule 11: Establishment of new schools:
'Amendments to Part 2 of EIA 2006:
1 Part 2 of EIA 2006 (establishment, discontinuance and alteration of schools) is amended as follows.
2 Before section 7 insert-
6A Requirement to seek proposals for establishment of new Academies
(1) If a local authority in England think a new school needs to be established in their area, they must seek proposals for the establishment of an Academy.'
'(1) The following provisions come into force on the day on which this Act is passed- . .
(2) The following provisions come into force at the end of two months beginning with the day on which this Act is passed- . .
(3) The other provisions of this Act come into force on such day as the Secretary of State may by order appoint.'
Clause 37 falls into section 3 'Other'. So it is the law of the land but not yet in force.
