Dear Ms Cross,
I write further to your request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000,
I can confirm there are 11 schools. We can’t answer the second part of
your request as we are still in the process of issuing licences. 
If you are unhappy with the way your request has been handled or the
outcome of your request, you may ask for an internal review. You should
contact The FoI Reviewing Officer, Legal & Democratic Services, Council
Offices, Market Street, Newbury RG14 5LD, email [email address],
within 40 working days, if you wish to request a review. 
  
If you are not content with the outcome of the internal review, you have
the right to apply directly to the Information Commissioner for a
decision. The Information Commissioner can be contacted at: - Information

5AF. 
Yours sincerely,
