Conatct details for independent schools

The request was partially successful.

Dear Department for Education,

Please provide me a list of all independent schools in the UK along
with the heads/bursars name & email address.

This will not be distributed & is for reference purposes only.

I note that a previous request made in June 2013 had the email addresses redacted, can you please ensure this does not happen.

Yours faithfully,

Dear Mr Wilkinson,
Thank you for your request for information, which was received on 10
October 2014. You requested: ‘a list of all independent schools in the UK
along with the heads/bursars name and email address.’  I have dealt with
your request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

The Department for Education(DfE) does not hold bursars names.  Also, the
email addresses we hold are those provided by the school for
communications rather than specifically for a named person.  Therefore, I
have been able to supply you with the unique reference number (URN), the
local authority name, school name, email address, alternative email
address and headteacher’s name for all independent schools in England. 
This information is enclosed in the attached spreadsheet.

The information I have provided was taken from Edubase.  Edubase holds
some information on schools in Wales which can be accessed at the
following link: [1]http://www.education.gov.uk/edubase/home...
However, this is not broken down by type of school so I am unable to
identify and provide information on independent schools in Wales.  The
Department does not hold information on schools in Scotland or Northern
Ireland, though the following links may be helpful:

This link may also help you identify who to ask for information about
schools in Wales: [2]http://mylocalschool.wales.gov.uk/

This link: [3]http://www.educationinScotland.gov.uk may help you identify
who to ask for information about schools in Scotland.

This following link: [4]http://www.deni.gov.uk may help you identify who
to ask for information about schools in Northern Ireland.

If you do not have access to the Internet at home, you may be able to use
facilities at your local public library.

If you have any queries about this letter, please contact me. Please
remember to quote the reference number above in any future communications.

If you are unhappy with the way your request has been handled, you should
make a complaint to the Department by writing to me within two calendar
months of the date of this letter.  Your complaint will be considered by
an independent review panel, who were not involved in the original
consideration of your request. 

If you are not content with the outcome of your complaint to the
Department, you may then contact the Information Commissioner’s Office.
Your correspondence has been allocated reference number 2014/0066803. If
you need to respond to us, please visit:

Yours sincerely,
