Dear F Sandford,
Freedom of Information Request – Schools spend
Thank you for your Freedom of Information request dated 1 May 2019
which asked for:
… Are you able to just provide the total spend per school for those
periods of time as processing of financials for most schools is done
through the council?
Which was a follow-on question from a previous request from yourself,
asking:
Please can you confirm the total spend on third party agencies for the
provision of supply staff by your local authority.
I would like to know the amounts paid by each school/nursery/ and SEND
education provision in the local authority, in relation to temporary staffing
cover (Teachers, Cover Supervisors, Unqualified Teachers, Teaching
Assistants, Nursery Nurses etc).
The time frames I require are from 1st September 2017 to 31st August
2018 and from 1st September 2018 and 31st December 2018.
Please could you supply this information (in excel) for each school or
Alternative Education Provisions including school name, type of school,
amount spent, and the company this money was paid to.
