This Order provides for the dissolution on 6th January 2017 of the Bourne Foundation, a foundation body. A foundation body is a body corporate established under section 21 of the School Standards and Framework Act 1998 to perform certain functions in relation to a group of three or more schools, namely to hold property and appoint foundation governors for those schools. Membership of the group of schools for which the Bourne Foundation was performing functions has fallen below three. In accordance with regulation 25(1)(a) of the Education (Foundation Body) (England) Regulations 2000 the clerk to the Bourne Foundation has informed the Secretary of State that this is the case and, in accordance with regulation 25(1)(c) of those Regulations, the foundation body must be dissolved.
