Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order)

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Order designates the Malcolm Arnold Academy, Trinity Avenue, Northampton, NN2 6JW (an independent school) as a school having a religious character, the religious denomination of the school being Church of England.

Under section 124A of the School Standards and Framework Act 1998, independent schools which are so designated are permitted to take account of certain religious or denominational considerations in making specified employment decisions which relate to teaching staff (such as decisions on appointment and promotion).

Designation by this Order is not of itself a means of acquiring a religious character or of changing religious character. Designation is the recognition of certain existing attributes of the school or its governing body as described in the Religious Character of Schools (Designation Procedure) (Independent Schools) (England) Regulations 2003 (S.I. 2003/2314, as amended by S.I. 2004/2262).
