Employment Status of Executive Headteacher
Dear JFS,
I would like to request, under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, details of the nature of the employment of the Executive Headteacher; namely, whether they are employed as staff or as a consultant, and whether they are employed by JFS, or by Brent Council (and therefore whether their salary is taken from the school's budget directly, or separately to the school's funding).
I would also like to know the projected combined funding for the remunerations of both of the headteachers for the school year 2016-17. If this is not possible, I would like the combined remunerations of all the members of the Senior Leadership Team, both projected for 2016-17, and for 2014-15 and 2015-16.
Kind regards,
Karl Smith

Dear Mr Smith
Your request made under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (“FOIA”)
I refer to your request for information dated 19 March 2017. Your request
was as follows:
“I would like to request, under the Freedom of Information Act 2000,
details of the nature of the employment of the Executive Headteacher;
namely, whether they are employed as staff or as a consultant, and whether
they are employed by JFS, or by Brent Council (and therefore whether their
salary is taken from the school's budget directly, or separately to the
school's funding).
I would also like to know the projected combined funding for the
remunerations of both of the headteachers for the school year 2016-17. If
this is not possible, I would like the combined remunerations of all the
members of the Senior Leadership Team, both projected for 2016-17, and for
2014-15 and 2015-16”.
In response to your queries, I can confirm that the School holds the
information requested. In detail:
· From March 2016-April 2016 the Executive Headteacher was
employed as a consultant (2 days per week) paid for by Brent Services to
Schools
From May 2016-August 2016 she was under contract to the school for 3 days
a week (with significant financial support from Brent Services to
schools).
From September 2016 to present she is employed and paid for by the school
for 3 days a week.
· I am unable to provide the remuneration of the Headteachers for
the school year 2016-17 and this information is withheld in reliance on
the following exemption contained within FOIA:
Section 40(2)
The information you have requested constitutes the personal data of
identifiable individuals and it is not considered to be fair to put that
information into the public domain. As such that information is exempt
from disclosure pursuant to the exemption contained in Section 40(2) FOIA.
· The combined remuneration for members of SLT (in financial
years) is as follows:
o 2016-17 847,898 13 posts
(2 DH posts unfilled for 7/12 of
year)
o 2015-16 693,565 12 posts
(2 DH posts unfilled for 7/12 of year)
o 2014-15 699,595 9 posts
(1 DH post unfilled for 7/12 of year)
This concludes the School’s response to your request. If you are
dissatisfied with this response you can complain to the Information
Commissioner ([1]www.ico.gov.uk).
Kind regards
Simon Appleman
Headteacher
