1953 CHAPTER 33

An Act to amend the law relating to education in England and Wales; and to make further provision with respect to the duties of education authorities in Scotland as to dental treatment. [14th July 1953.]

BE it enacted by the Queen's most Excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons, in this present Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:-

1 Extension of definition of "displaced pupils" for purposes of s. 104 of principal Act

For the purposes of section one hundred and four of the Education Act 1944, in this Act referred to as "the principal Act" (which empowers the Minister, where he directs that a school proposed to be established shall be an aided school or a special agreement school and is satisfied that the establishment of the school is due to the need to provide education for a substantial number of displaced pupils, to pay to the managers or governors of the school a grant not exceeding one half of so much of the amount expended in constructing the school as is in his opinion attributable to the provision of education for such pupils), the expression "displaced pupils" shall, in relation to a proposed school, include pupils who, in consequence of action taken or proposed to be taken under the enactments relating to housing or to town and country planning, have ceased to reside in the area served by some other aided school or special agreement school, being -

(a) pupils for whom education was being provided in that other school immediately before they ceased to reside in the area served by it; or

[page 2]

(b) pupils, other than as aforesaid, for whom education would, in the opinion of the Minister, have been provided in that other school had they continued to reside in the area served by it.
2 Power of Minister, in certain circumstances, to require local education authority to defray expenses of establishing a controlled school

Where -

(a) any persons submit, under subsection (2) of section thirteen of the principal Act, to the Minister proposals for the establishment by them, or by persons whom they represent, of a new school (otherwise than by way of the enlargement of an existing school) and for its maintenance by the local education authority as a voluntary school; and

(b) the persons who submit the proposals and the local education authority show to the satisfaction of the Minister that the establishment of the school is required for the purpose of providing accommodation for pupils for whom accommodation would have been provided in some other voluntary school if that other school had not been discontinued or had not otherwise ceased to be available for the purpose; and

(c) no application is made under subsection (2) of section fifteen of the principal Act to the Minister for an order directing that the school shall be an aided school or a special agreement school;

the Minister may by order direct that the whole, or a specified part, of so much of the cost incurred in the establishment of the 'school as would, apart from the order, fall to be defrayed by the persons who establish it shall be defrayed by the local education authority.

3 Extension of power of Minister to require local education authority to pay for enlargement of a controlled school

Subsection (1) of section one of the Education Act 1946 (which empowers the Minister, if satisfied that it is expedient that a controlled school should be enlarged and that the enlargement is wholly or mainly required for the purpose of providing accommodation for pupils for whom accommodation would have been provided in some other voluntary school if that other school had not been discontinued or had not otherwise ceased to be available for the purpose, to direct that the expense of giving effect to proposals for carrying out the enlargement shall be payable by the local education authority) shall have effect as if, at the beginning of paragraph (b) thereof, there were inserted the words "either (i)", and as if, at the end of that paragraph, there were added the words -

"or

(ii) that the enlargement is desirable for the better provision of secondary education at the premises to be enlarged or for securing that there is available for the area of the authority a sufficiency of suitable secondary schools or for both those reasons, and is not likely to amount to the establishment of a school of a new character".

(ii) where the authority are satisfied that, by reason of a shortage of places in schools maintained by them and schools maintained by other local education authorities, being schools to which the pupil could be sent with reasonable convenience, education suitable to the age, ability and aptitude of the pupil cannot be provided by them for him except at a school not maintained by them or another local education authority,

(iii) where, in a case not falling within either of the two foregoing sub-paragraphs, the authority are satisfied that the pupil requires special educational treatment and that it is expedient in his interests that such treatment should be provided for him at a special school not maintained by them or another local education authority,
