Regulations providing that a student stayed such until he concluded, or was dismissed from a course, were deeming provisions, and a student taking a year out after failing his exams, remained a student and was unable to claim benefits by way of income support. Article 2 did not require the state to subsidise a student in excercising his right to take up the education it offered.

Sedley LJ
Education
The needs of a child, as to educational and non-educational overlapped, and accordingly, it was within the discretion of the Special Needs Tribunal to include among the educational needs of a child others within that overlap. Physiological, occupational, and speech therapy, were all properly included within the educational needs assessment. The court explained the nature of the Tribunal's functions: "the first independent arbiter of this question [viz. a question as to the special educational provision to be specified in Part 3 of the statement] is the tribunal. Unlike the High Court, it is a specialist tribunal with a lawyer chairman and lay members chosen for their knowledge and experience.
In my view this restructuring has jurisprudential implications. Where previously the parent's only resort from the local education authority was to the court, which had therefore to do its best to construe the statutory language in so far as construction was an appropriate exercise, there is now interposed a specialist tribunal whose remit is not necessarily the same. In particular, where a court has to limit itself to the interpretation of terms of legal art and the setting of outer limits to the meaning of ordinary words in their statutory context, the tribunal is empowered to take a much closer look at the LEA's statement. Indeed, for many purposes it stands in the LEA's shoes, re-evaluating the available information in order if necessary to recast the statement. But in carrying out this function it also has a supervisory role – to interpret and apply the relevant law. Where that law is expressed in words which, while not terms of legal art, have a purpose dictated by – and therefore a meaning coloured by – their context, it is clearly Parliament's intention that particular respect should be paid to the tribunal's conclusions."

Education
In deciding whether to make a special needs assessment, a local education authority can allow for the fact that parents have made available to their child privately special assistance, which, if continued, might allow the child to lead a normal school life.

Education, Local Government
When a local authority hears an appeal against the refusal to offer a place for a child at a secondary school, the committee may hear submissions as to the possible illegality of the admissions policy of the school. It need not assume that a policy was lawful until and unless set aside. The committee is to apply independent scrutiny to the issues.

QBD
Nigel Pleming QC
Natural Justice, Education
The school investigated allegations of theft and expelled the child. The independent appela panel rejected the appeal. The child's parents sought a judicial review because of the way the investigation had been handled. Held: A school enquiring into allegations of dishonesty by a pupil and which lead to the child's expulsion, had a duty to conduct such an enquiry with a high standard of fairness. The child should have been interviewed alone. Nevertheless, it was inappropriate to judge such actions by reference to the principles or rules which would apply to a police investigation under PACE. The allegations had been investigated and the conclusions drawn could be justified on the facts ascertained.

VAT, Education, VAT
For VAT purposes, as opposed to other forms of taxation, educational purposes meant education within a more formal class or lesson type structure. A zoo, open to the public but employing education officers to assist with education of visitors was not exempt from charging VAT upon its entrance fees. The education offered did not come within this definition.

Education
The staff of a special school could have duties of care to their pupils such as could make them and their employers liable in negligence for a failure to educate pupils according to their needs. It was wrong to strike out such a claim. Previous cases which suggested that no such duty might exist should be confined to their facts.
