Dear Lisa
I am writing in respect of your recent enquiry for information held by the
Authority under the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act 2000:
I would like to make a request under the freedom of information act to
obtain information regarding school cluster groups and/or federations of
schools within the local authority. I would like the following information
please:
Number of cluster's and or federations in the authority.
Which schools are in each cluster/federation.
The name of the cluster or federation lead and the name of the school in
which they work.
Please see response below:
The model now is districts which are wards and publicly available via
[1]www.birmingham.gov.uk/wards . Although some schools work in clusters
we don’t hold that information as we don’t have clusters of schools.
If you have any information which may assist us in determining or locating
any missed information, we would be grateful if you would contact us with
details of this information, so that we can conduct a further search.
If you are not satisfied with the response you may ask for an internal
review. If subsequently you are not satisfied with the Council's decision
you may apply to the Information Commissioner for a decision. Generally,
the ICO cannot make a decision unless you have exhausted the complaints
procedure provided by the Council. The Information Commissioner can be
contacted at the following address:
The Information Commissioner
