  • Parents' Association Annual Report 2019
    Parents’ Association Annual Report 2019 Introduction The Parents’ Association (PA) is an active association representing parents’ interests within the European School Karlsruhe. The Association is a non-profit organisation and membership is voluntary. Members of the PA committee (henceforth committee) represent the parents in the school and in the various committees in Brussels. The members all work voluntarily for the benefit of all pupils and parents in the ESK and can influence the decisions made by management locally and at the system level of the European schools. The role of the PA is unique to the European Schools and therefore it is imperative that the PA is active in the school community and parents take advantage of this rare opportunity. The membership fee is currently €30 per family per school year. More details can be found on the ESK PA website: www.esk-eltern.de ​ Year’s review This year the ESK PA Annual General Assembly (AGM) took place on 21 February 2019.

  • European Schools) Regulations 2021
    EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM TO THE EUROPEAN UNION (EUROPEAN SCHOOLS) REGULATIONS 2021 2021 No. [XXXX] 1. Introduction 1.1 This explanatory memorandum has been prepared by the Department for Education and is laid before Parliament by Act. 2. Purpose of the instrument 2.1 This instrument revokes The European Communities (European Schools) Order 1972 (SI 1972/1582); The European Communities (Privileges of the European School) Order 1990 (SI 1990/237); The European Communities (Privileges of the European School) Order 2001 (SI 2001/3674). 2.2 This instrument is revoking those Orders as they are redundant following the closure of European School Culham and the United Kingdom’s exit from the European Union and the Convention Defining the Statute of the European Schools. Explanations What did any relevant EU law do before exit day? 2.3 The United Kingdom was a member of the Convention Defining the Statute of the European Schools by virtue of membership in the European Union. Much of the legislation relating to UK membership of that Convention was revoked on 31 December 2020. The remaining legislation currently in place relates exclusively to the former European School in the UK, European School Culham. This legislation offered certain protections to the school. As European School Culham closed on 31 August 2017 these have been redundant in UK legislation since that time. Why is it being changed? 2.4 The legislation relating to European School Culham is not required as the school closed on 31 August 2017. With the United Kingdom’s exit from the European Union, we automatically fell out of the Convention Defining the Statute of the European Schools and our obligation relating to the UK’s relationship with the European Schools system is already committed to UK law under article 125 of the Withdrawal Agreement.
