Dear Ms Walker
FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT 2000 Your request for information has now been considered and the Council’s
response to your questions is shown below.
You asked:
I am interested in the amounts paid by all Schools in Leicester LEA to
third parties in relation to temporary agency staffing cover. My hope is
to receive an electronic breakdown of amounts paid through the
department's purchase ledger by school for the last Academic year
ending 2013.
Please can you supply the following information in an excel spread
sheet format:-
School Name – URN or DFE number – agency/supplier name – total
amount paid
ANSWER:
Please see attachment for the above information.
Leicester City Council only holds a record of the total agency supply staff
expenditure for each school per financial year and is not broken down further.
So we do not know which suppliers are used by each of the schools.
All schools maintained by the Council have local bank accounts through which
their agency staffing invoices are paid. Please contact individual schools
directly. The link below will take you to a list of schools within the Authority.
http://www.leicester.gov.uk/your-council-services/education-lifelong-
learning/about-schools/schools-directory/schools-directory/ Leicester City Council does not hold the information requested. This letter
acts as a refusal notice under section 17.1 of the Freedom of Information Act
2000 because, in accordance with section 1.1 of the Act, the information is not
held.
