Dear CSFOIRequests,

The answer supplied to question 5 was "Depends how many parents required to complete admissions applications online each year. About 200 Early year providers.". Unfortunately this does not answer the question. Please advise how many external users you have, including the total number of registered users of any portals you have e.g. both admissions and early years providers.

Yours sincerely,

Taylor Dent-Robson

CSFOIRequests, Bury Metropolitan Borough Council

Dear Taylor,

Please see our response to Question 5 below.

From this year's transfer to high school and new reception intake for September 2019, we received a total of 4077 parental applications registered via the online parent portal and there is exactly 204 current registered early year providers.

Kind Regards,

Abbie Rayner
