Please could you provide the following information:

2. Number and percentage of your teachers who are of Pakistani heritage.
3. Number and percentage of your support staff who are of Pakistani heritage.
4. Number and percentage of your senior leadership team who are of Pakistani heritage.

Dear Karamat
If you're the Karamat Iqbal I know: nice to hear from you. I hope the
family are well. Happy New Year!
1. We don't keep the data in quite this way. Adding up
* Kashmiri Pakistani
* Mirpuri Pakistani
* Other Pakistani
and expressing that as a percentage of the students excluding
* Blank
* Information not yet obtained
* Refused
you get 16%.
2. I don't think I'm allowed to answer this for legal reasons.
3. Same as 2.
4. None.
5. We are part of the King Edward's Academy Trust, so we don't have
Governors specific to this school. We do have a group we call the Local
Governing Body, which is the group I think you're referring to. I don't
have the data you're asking for concerning them either. You'd have to go
to the King Edward's Foundation Office for that. But, again, I suspect
they can't legally give you that info.
6 and 7 (and therefore implications for 8) seem to me to be a matter of
opinion.
I'm sorry that all seems to be a bit unhelpful!
All the best
Martin

Dear Martin Garrod,
Yes it is one and the same Karamat, trying to gain update on data I collected in 2012, including from your school.
We are all well, thank you. A happy new year to you too. Our best wishes to you and Dilys.
The request for information was made under Freedom of Information Act, which means if you have the information then you are duty bound to share it. Please see this link: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/200...
In any case similar information was supplied to me in 2012, as shown here: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/p...
Yours sincerely,
karamat iqbal
Dear Karamat
Thank you for your email. Best wishes to Sue and the children - have you
got grandchildren yet?
I'm sorry to sound difficult! The problem is not with the rules of FOIs;
I have a concern relating to Data Protection. I've asked the Foundation
Office for advice and they've said they'll respond.
All the best
Martin

Just found this in drafts.
Dear Karamat
Sorry - I thought I'd done this ages ago. I've done it again here, this
time combining my two replies in one email which may be what you're
chasing. If it isn't, please let me know what you're waiting for.
My other emails explain these answers.
All the best
