The School Organisation (Prescribed Alterations to Maintained Schools) (England) Regulations 2013

• (d) where the agreement refers to property, rights or liabilities which fall to be apportioned or divided between the transferor and the transferee, the agreement constituted two separate agreements separately enforceable by and against the transferor and the transferee as regards the part of the property, rights or liabilities retained by the transferor or (as the case may be) the part vesting in the transferee, and not as regards the other part,

and paragraph (d) applies in particular to the covenants, stipulations and conditions of any lease by or to the transferor.

• (2) This paragraph applies to any agreement whether in writing or not and whether or not of such a nature that rights and liabilities under it could be assigned by the transferor.

19

• (1) Without prejudice to the generality of paragraph 18, the transferee under a transfer to which this Schedule applies and any other person must, as from the implementation date, have the same rights, powers and remedies (and in particular the same rights and powers as to the taking or resisting of legal proceedings or the making or resisting of applications to any local authority) for ascertaining, perfecting or enforcing any right or liability transferred to and vested in the transferee by virtue of these regulations as he would have had if that right or liability had at all times been a right or liability of the transferee.

• (2) Any legal proceedings or applications to any local authority pending on the transfer date by or against the transferor, in so far as they relate to any property, right or liability transferred to the transferee by virtue of these regulations, or to any agreement relating to any such property, right or liability, must be continued by or against the transferee to the exclusion of the transferor.

Third parties affected by vesting provisions

20

• (1) Without prejudice to the generality of paragraphs 18 to 19, any transaction effected between a transferor and a transferee in pursuance of paragraph 13 or of a direction under paragraph 15 is binding on all other persons, even if it would, apart from this sub-paragraph, have required the consent or concurrence of any person other than the transferor and the transferee.

• (2) If as a result of any such transaction any person’s rights or liabilities become enforceable as to part by or against the transferor and as to part by or against the transferee, the adjudicator must give that person written notification of that fact.

• (3) If in consequence of a transfer to which this Schedule applies or of anything done in pursuance of the provisions of this Schedule—

• (a) the rights or liabilities of any person other than the transferor or the transferee which were enforceable against or by the transferor become enforceable as to part against or by the transferor and as to part against or by the transferee; and

• (b) the value of any property or interest of that person is thereby diminished,

such compensation as may be just must be paid to the that person by the transferor, the transferee or both.

• (4) Any dispute as to whether and if so how much compensation is payable under sub-paragraph (3), or as to the person to whom it must be paid, must be referred to and determined by the adjudicator.

Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

EXPLANATORY NOTE

These Regulations prescribe various matters relating to prescribed alterations to maintained schools pursuant to provisions contained in Part 2 of the Education and Inspections Act 2006.

Regulation 3 with Schedule 1 provides that governing bodies of maintained schools can publish and determine their own ‘foundation proposals’ with rights of referral to the adjudicator in certain circumstances. Foundation proposals are defined in regulation 3 as a change of category from a community school, voluntary aided or voluntary controlled school to a foundation school, or from a community special school to a foundation special school; for foundation and foundation special schools only the acquisition of a foundation, and a change in the instrument of government so that the majority of governors may be foundation governors.

Regulation 4 with Schedule 2 prescribes other alterations capable of being published by the governing body of a maintained school.

Regulation 5 with Schedule 2 prescribes the alterations capable of being published by a local authority to maintained schools.

Regulation 6(1)-(3) with Schedules 1 and 3 provides for the information to be provided in relation to published proposals and prescribes the manner of their publication, determination and implementation.

Regulation 6(4) and Schedule 4 prescribe certain provisions relating to foundation proposals and other changes of category.

Regulation 6(5) and Schedule 5 provide for land transfers when a school changes category or acquires a foundation.
