From 1st September 2016 The Education (Pupil Registration) (England) (Amendment) Regulations 2016 requires that all schools (including independent schools) inform their Local Authority whenever a compulsory age pupil leaves a school at non standard transition times before completing the school's final year, for any reason (except when ending statutory education, phase transfer or where permanently excluded) no later than the time they are deleted from the register. Forms must be completed and sent within 5 working days of the child being removed from roll.
