Agency Spend within Further Education

Benn Davey made this Freedom of Information request to Common Council of the City of London

Common Council of the City of London did not have the information requested.

From: Benn Davey

27 July 2010

Dear City of London Council

I am interested in the amounts paid by each College in City of
London 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.

Your assistance with this request is greatly appreciated.

Yours faithfully,

Benn Davey

Dear Mr Davey

FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT 2000 - INFORMATION REQUEST

Following receipt of your request for information on 27th July 2010, and
our acknowledgement of the same date, the City of London (CoL) responds
as follows.

Please note that the City (the "Square Mile") has a resident population
of about 8,000 and only maintains one school in its capacity as a Local
Education Authority, namely the Sir John Cass's Foundation Primary
School, a voluntary aided school. Please see the following link for
further details:
http://www.cityoflondon.gov.uk/Corporati...
earning/Schools_and_colleges/Sir+John+Cass+Foundation+Primary+School.htm

With regard to agency supply/temporary staffing cover, Sir John Cass's
Foundation Primary School is responsible for arranging its own supply
staff. You will need to contact the school direct for financial
information regarding this matter.

The City of London as a Local Education Authority does not hold any
information regarding college funds. Colleges are responsible for their
own finances and you will need to contact them direct for information
regarding amounts paid in relation to temporary staffing cover.

We hope that this assists.

enquiry, please make your complaint in writing to email address:
[email address].
