In exercise of the powers conferred on the Secretary of State by section 144(1) and 2(f) of the School Standards and Framework Act 1998(1), the Secretary of State for Education and Employment, as regards England, and the Secretary of State for Wales, as regards Wales, hereby make the following Regulations:

(This note is not part of the Regulations)
Section 110 of the School Standards and Framework Act 1998 requires the governing body of every maintained school (and every city technology college and city college for the technology of the arts) to adopt a home-�school agreement for the school, together with a parental declaration to be used in connection with the school.
The 1998 Act defines "maintained school" by reference to the new categories into which schools maintained by local education authorities will be divided on or after the day appointed by the Secretary of State for the purposes of section 20 of the Act, namely 1st September 1999. These Regulations modify the reference in section 110(1)(a) to a maintained school so that, until that date, it will be construed as a reference to a school falling within one of the categories of maintained school provided for in the Education Act 1996.
1st September 1999 is the appointed day for the purposes of section 20 of the School Standards and Framework Act 1998: see S.I. 1998/2083.
