Dear Amanda

Further to your request for information about supply teacher usage in Bradford for 2009/10 received on the 4 August 2010 under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

The attached schedule shows the spending by each school for the financial year 2009/10 and has been taken directly from the financial returns which each school is required to submit to the Department for Education (DfE) each year.

As part of your request you asked for details of supplier names. Unfortunately we are unable to provide this as we do not hold this information. Under Local Management of Schools arrangements, schools have their own bank accounts from which they make payments to suppliers. The only way in which you would be able to obtain this information is by contacting each school individually.  

If you are not satisfied with this reply you may ask for a review of this decision by contacting [Bradford City Council request email] or by writing to Freedom of Information, Bradford Metropolitan District Council, 7^th Floor, City Exchange, 61 Hall Ings, Bradford, BD1 5SG.

If you are still not satisfied with the outcome of the internal review you have the right of appeal to the Information Commissioner who can be contacted at:
