Any arrangements which are made for a person to follow a course of study included within a local curriculum at a school where that person is not a registered pupil, or is not proposing to become a registered pupil, are not to be taken to be admission arrangements for the purposes of Part 3 of the 1998 Act.

The requirement to make arrangements under sections 86 and 86A of the 1998 Act does not apply in relation to any preference as to the school where a particular course of study within a local curriculum is to be followed where that school is different from the school where a child or a child’s parents wish the child to be a registered pupil.

The determination of the number of pupils made under section 89A of the 1998 Act whom it is intended to admit to a school in a particular school year is not to include the number of local curriculum students that are likely to attend the school in that year.

The duty in section 94 of the 1998 Act to make arrangements for enabling persons to appeal does not apply in relation to any decision as to the school where a person may follow a course of study included within a local curriculum where that school is different from the school where a child or a child’s parents wish the child to be a registered pupil.
