Dear Jordan Hill 

Thank you for your request for information received on 16 February 2018.
You requested:

 

“Please can you send me an excel list of all UK schools, with their name,
email address, address, other contact details, website, name of the head
teacher, headteacher email address, and phase of education, for the
2017/2018 academic year.

 

If possible, can you also include the schools listed designated
safeguarding lead, with their name and email address on a separate excel
tab.”

 

I have dealt with your request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. 

 

A csv file containing data from the Get Information about Schools (GIAS)
website as at 23 February 2018 is enclosed. The file contains a standard
extract of all educational establishments in England. GIAS does not hold
any information about safeguarding leads.

We are withholding the email address of the head teacher under section
40(2) (personal data), this is because the information in question
includes 3rd party personal data.  Personal data is that which relates to
a living individual who can be identified from that data, or from that
data and other information which is likely to be in, or to come into, the
possession of the requestor.  Disclosure of this information would
contravene a number of the data protection principles in the Data
Protection Act 1998, and would be regarded as ‘unfair’.  By that, we mean
the likely expectations of the data subject that his or her information
would not be disclosed to others and the effect which disclosure would
have on the data subject.  Section 40(2) is an absolute exemption and is
not subject to the public interest test.

I have supplied you with the school email address where available.

 

Further information on the terms used within this extract can be found in
the GIAS glossary:  [1]www.get-information-schools.service.gov.uk/glossary
