Dear Ms Gibson,

Thank you for your Freedom of Information Request where you asked for
information about staffing in secondary schools.

From our preliminary assessment, it is clear that we will not be able to
answer your request without further clarification.

Specifically, I need to know what you mean by `cover supervisors'. Does
this mean lunchtime cover?

Once you have clarified your request, I will be able to begin to process
it. If I do not receive clarification within three months your request
will be considered to have lapsed. (Under section 1(3) of the Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA), a public authority need not comply with a request
unless any further information reasonably required to locate the
information is supplied).

Please remember to quote the reference number (659) above in any future
communications.

Yours sincerely,

Sue Paddick

Dear Louise,

Thank you for your recent Freedom of Information request concerning how
many cover supervisors are employed in Somerset secondary schools and for
the further clarification you subsequently sent. I regret to say that the
County Council does not hold the information you are seeking.

As you may be aware, schools manage their own budgets and although the
County Council administers the schools' payroll, it doesn't have a record
of how and when `cover supervisors' are employed in individual schools.
This is also complicated by the fact that higher level teaching assistants
may be used in different capacities throughout the school day and so to
tease out individual staff costs due to `cover supervision' would be
difficult.

This information may of course be available from the secondary schools
themselves and the following website will give you their contact details,
should you wish to pursue your question with them directly:
[1]http://www.somerset.gov.uk/irj/public/se...

If you are dissatisfied with the handling of your request, you have the
right to ask for an internal review. Internal review requests should be
submitted within two months of the date of receipt of the response to your
original request and should be addressed to the Information Governance
Manager, Peter Grogan; [2][email address]

Please remember to quote the reference number 659 in any future
communications.

If you are not content with the outcome of the internal review, you have
the right to apply directly to the Information Commissioner for a
decision. The Information Commissioner can be contacted at: Information
Commissioner's Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9
5AF.
