Dear Angela Sandles

 

FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT 2000 - INFORMATION REQUEST

 

Unfortunately this Authority does not hold information regarding (a) the
total number of lessons to be taught in week commencing 13^th November
2017 and (b) those lessons where a qualified teacher will not be present
and unqualified staff will be there during the lesson.

 

However, we believe information of this nature may be held by the school,
who will also be covered by the Freedom of Information Act.
