Dear Ms Nicholson,
RE: - REQUEST FOR INFORMATION UNDER THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT 2000
In response to your request for information under the Freedom of Information Act received by
Rochdale Council on 5th February 2018, please see the below in relation to your queries:
Maintained schools in Rochdale have cheque book management and therefore manage their own
expenditure for agency staff. The Local Authority publishes annual agency spend by school, but is
unable to accurately report on monthly / quarterly expenditure. The individual schools would have
to be contacted for this level of detail.
The link to the published data is here:

School contact details can be found on our website at:
Find a school or college
We feel that we have fulfilled your Freedom of Information request. However, please see the
details on our
website if you are unhappy with the service you have received in relation to your
request, wish to make a complaint or appeal against any decision we have made in response to
your request.
Should you have any queries, please contact me.
Yours sincerely,
Sandra Bowness
Assistant Director, Early Help and Schools
