    Yes. An LA may make arrangements for the provision of primary and secondary education for pupils at schools not maintained by them or another LA: s.18 EA 1996. Under such circumstances the LA shall pay fees in respect of education: s.517 EA 1996.  

    If board and lodging is set out in s.2D.3 then the LA is under an obligation to secure this provision: s.14(10) ALNET.
