Dear Mr. Davey

FREEDOM OF INFORMATION REQUEST REF: 2010-519

I am responding to your request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000,
which we received on 27 July 2010, for information held by the Council.
You requested:

I am interested in the amounts paid by each College in Kensington and
Chelsea Local Education Authority to third parties in relation to Agency
Supply- temporary staffing cover. My hope is to receive an electronic
breakdown of amounts paid by from the Consistent Financial Reporting
System for each College.

I would also like to know: How many lecturers each college employ - how
many of these are on a contract basis and how many are direct employers.

I would like this in the following format:

College name Number of lecturers employed directly Number of lecturers
employed by an agency Agency spend xx xx xx xx

Notes:

1. I would like the information in electronic format (and if possible, in
Excel to assist with calculations). This should avoid any printing cost
issues.

2. The information I require for each school is: School Name; and total
amount paid to third parties in the procurement of agency supply teachers
and support staff.

3. if it is also possible, please could the spend be broken down by
primary, secondary and special needs schools.

4. I would like the information to cover the years 2008/2009 tax year, and
2009/10 tax year.

The Council does not hold this information in the manner requested. We can
only provide total amount spent, further information will have to be
requested from the Schools directly. A list of Schools in the Borough can
be found here:
