Dear  Holly Giles

 

 

Reference: FOI/10702 - Money spent on supply teachers for each individual
school in district

 

 

Thank you for your request for information which was received by
Manchester City Council on 18/09/2023 and has been considered under the
provisions of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (“the 2000 Act”).

 

You asked:

 

I am interested in the amounts paid by each school in your LEA to third
parties in relation to temporary staffing cover. This would include both
short and long term cover. My hope is to receive an electronic breakdown
of amounts paid through the department's purchase ledger by school.

The information I require for each school is:

Name of school, Supplier name and total amount paid.

I would like the information to cover the Financial year 2021-2022. If
this is not possible please send the most recent figures that you have.

In response to your request, please see below:

 

Refusal - information not held by the Council
The information you have requested is not held by Manchester City Council.
 Schools carry out the recruitment and appointment of their own temporary
staff.  Please see the link for contact
details: https://www.manchester.gov.uk/directory/...
only information the Council holds is in the form of Consistent Financial
Reports (CFR) returns which schools submit to the authority as part of
their year-end closedown pack.  

The Department of Education publishes the Consistent Financial Reporting
(CFR) document at the end of December/January every year which covers the
financial year. The information is published by fiscal/financial year
(April to March) not academic year.

The data published is about the schools’ income and expenditure which is
used to support benchmarking and enables comparative reports to be
produced for governors and local authorities (LAs). 
We can provide the following information:

See attached - Total spend per Manchester maintained schools relating to
supply and agency staff for the financial year 2021-2022
 

 

Please note if you are not satisfied with this response you may ask for an
internal review. If you wish an internal review to be undertaken, please
contact the Democratic Services Legal Team, whose address is, PO Box 532,
Town Hall, Manchester, M60 2LA, email:
[MCC request email] in the first instance. 

 

 

A copy of the Council’s access to information complaints procedure can be

If you are not content with the outcome of the internal review process,
you have the right to apply directly to the Information Commissioner for a
decision.
