EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Education (Governor's Annual Reports) (England) Regulations 1999 ("the 1999 Regulations") by substituting a new Schedule setting out the information to be contained in governors' annual reports.

The Regulations remove the requirement to include in governors' reports information about the next annual parents' meeting and arrangements for the next election of parent governors. They introduce new requirements to provide that the information provided on teacher training and professional development shall form part of a statement on the school's policy on whole staff development and to require that the annual reports contain a summary of the school governors' policy on children with special educational needs and a statement of their success in implementing that policy.

The Regulations also amend the information that must be provided on pupils in Key Stages 1, 2 or 3 so providing greater consistency between the 1999 Regulations and the Education (School Information) (England) Regulations 1998.
