The School Organisation (Prescribed Alterations to Maintained Schools) (England) (Amendment) Regulations 2025

These Regulations amend regulation 4(3) and paragraph 2 of Schedule 2, and omit paragraph 3 of Schedule 2 to the School Organisation (Prescribed Alterations to Maintained Schools) (England) Regulations 2013 (S.I. 2013/3110) so that adding or removing nursery provision or changing the age range of an existing nursery provision is no longer a prescribed alteration. This means that nursery provision may be added or removed at voluntary, foundation and community schools without the requirement to follow the statutory prescribed alteration process. Age range changes of a year or more excluding age range changes related to nursery provision are a prescribed alteration for voluntary, foundation and community schools.
