The governing body of Lawrence Sheriff School (“the School”) being a qualifying body for the purposes of Chapter 1 of Part 1 of the Education Act 2002(“the Act”)( 1 ) have applied for an Order to be made under section 2(1) of the Act.
In accordance with section 4(2) of the Act the governing body of the School have consulted—
(a) the local authority who maintain the school; and

It is the opinion of the Secretary of State that the implementation by the governing body of the School of the innovative project provided for by this Order may contribute to the raising of educational standards in England.
In forming that opinion, the Secretary of State—
(a) has had regard to the need for the curriculum for any school affected by the project to be a balanced and broadly based curriculum which promotes the spiritual, moral, cultural, mental and physical development of children and of society; and

It does not appear to the Secretary of State that this Order would be likely to have a detrimental effect on the education of children with special educational needs.
Accordingly the Secretary of State in exercise of the powers conferred by sections 2(1) and 210 of the Act makes the following Order.
