Grammar Correction for Coasting Schools Entry Rules
A typographical correction was issued for The Coasting Schools (England) (Amendment) Regulations 2025 concerning the wording of entry conditions within regulation 4(3).
This document issues a formal correction to The Coasting Schools (England) (Amendment) Regulations 2025 (SI 2025/1120), specifically addressing a grammatical error on page 2, regulation 3.
It substitutes the text: 'The entry condition in this paragraph is...' with the plural form: 'The entry conditions in this paragraph are...' within the substituted regulation 4(3), ensuring accurate legal clarity regarding the conditions required for coasting schools.
Arguments For
Ensuring legal precision by correcting a grammatical error in the substituted regulation 4(3) relating to entry conditions for coasting schools.
Maintaining the intended regulatory framework by clarifying that multiple 'entry conditions' (plural) must be met if applicable, rather than a singular condition.
Arguments Against
The amendment addresses a minor grammatical technicality, suggesting potential editorial oversights in the original drafting process.
The correction itself represents a delay in the finalization and full clarity of the regulatory text pending this official amendment.
