Education (Wales) Measure 2011
Education (Wales) Measure 2011

On the 10 May 2011, the Education Measure  (Wales) 2011 was granted Royal Assent. The Measure puts in place powers and duties to make collaboration commonplace in the education system, to improve school governance and to simplify the planning of school places in Wales.

It makes provision to:

  • Drive collaboration between local authorities, governing bodies of maintained schools and Further Education Institutions
  • Give local authorities a power to establish a federation of schools
  • Train school governors and to improve clerking of governing bodies
  • Prevent schools in the future from changing category so as to become foundation schools and to prevent new foundation schools being established
