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.

This Order, made by the Secretary of State under powers in the Apprenticeships, Skills, Children and Learning Act 2009, specifically brings Section 246 of that Act into force across England starting on April 1st, 2026; this action inserts a new requirement into the Education and Inspections Act 2006, obligating governing bodies of schools in England to establish procedures for recording and reporting significant incidents where staff use force against pupils to the relevant parents, unless doing so would risk harm to the pupil.

These Regulations, made under the Education Act 1996 and Education and Skills Act 2008, establish mandatory duties for schools in England regarding the recording and reporting of incidents where a member of staff secludes, restrains, or immobilizes a pupil outside of a disciplinary penalty; specifically, they require maintained schools to record such incidents and provide copies to parents, allowing for records to be withheld if disclosure risks the pupil's significant harm, while also amending standards for independent and non-maintained special schools to introduce equivalent requirements and simultaneously revoking a previous version of these regulations issued in error.

This Order establishes the necessary consequential provisions and modifications to existing legislation following the enactment of the Education (Scotland) Act 2025, providing for the operational continuity of the newly formed Qualifications Scotland and His Majesty’s Chief Inspector of Education in Scotland.

It details the commencement sequence for different parts of the Order, clarifies that Qualifications Scotland's functions can be exercised outside Scotland, ensures transitional provisions cover past actions of the former Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA), confirms the Chief Inspector's status as part of the Scottish Administration, and systematically repeals or amends numerous UK-wide and devolved statutory instruments to substitute references from the SQA to Qualifications Scotland, ensuring all related legal frameworks, including those concerning welfare, student finance, and professional qualifications, accurately reflect the new institutional arrangements.

This Order, made by the Secretary of State under the Education and Inspections Act 2006, officially designates specific primary schools in England as 'rural primary schools' via a list published on the Gov.uk website. The designation triggers mandatory legal requirements for local authorities or governing bodies considering the closure of these schools, compelling them to consider the community impact and alternatives.

Furthermore, the Order revokes the previous Designation of Rural Primary Schools (England) Order 2024 and comes into force on December 18th, 2025, applying to England and Wales.

These Regulations establish comprehensive, mandatory procedures for schools in England, effective from 1st April 2026, requiring school staff to keep written records of every incident where a pupil is secluded, restrained, or immobilized, and mandating that these records (with specified safeguarding exceptions) are supplied to the pupil's parents as soon as practicable; the rules also amend the standards for independent and non-maintained special schools to enforce equivalent recording and reporting duties concerning seclusion, restraint, and use of force incidents.

This Statutory Instrument, made by the Office for Students under the Higher Education and Research Act 2017, formally authorizes the Royal Northern College of Music to grant specific types of research awards for a fixed term running from January 5, 2026, until January 4, 2030, and permits the College to authorize other institutions to make these awards on its behalf.

This Order, made by HM Treasury under the Government Resources and Accounts Act 2000, revises the list of designated central government bodies for the purpose of calculating supply estimates and resource accounts for the financial year ending March 31, 2026.
