The Minister formally moves that the Committee consider the draft Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Act 2026 (Establishment of Schools) (Consequential Amendments) Regulations, outlining their laying date and the Act’s change to the legal framework for opening new state-funded schools by ending the presumption in favour of academies. She explains that the instrument makes minor, technical amendments across primary and secondary legislation to align references with new sections 7 and 10 of the Education and Inspections Act 2006 and to extend provisions on land, employment transfer, governance and pupil referral units.
