This Quick Guide sets out the legal requirements on local authorities and other bodies proposing changes to the configuration of schools (such as closures or amalgamations) and the procedures which must be followed.  The process was changed by Assembly legislation in 2013 and subsequent Welsh Government guidance (The School Organisation Code) which represented a shift towards final decision-making by local authorities themselves rather than the Welsh Government, other than in stated exceptions.
