Dear Mr Coninx

Thank you for your request for information, which was received on 16
September 2017. 

You requested the following:  

“Please can you provide in Microsoft Excel format, an up to date current
listing of all School Direct Providers or Partnerships currently operating
including the name of the partnership, the name of the lead school or
academy trust, the URN of the lead school or academy trust, the name and
email of the lead contact for each School Direct provider or partnership
and the names and URNs of the other schools comprising the School Direct
Partnership.”

Your request has been dealt with under the Freedom of Information Act 2000
(“the Act”).  The Department has considered whether the public interest
lies in disclosing or withholding the information.

I have enclosed a copy of the information that we are able to disclose as
follows:

(a)  A list of all School Direct lead schools and accredited ITT providers
that hold an allocation for 2017 to 2018 academic year.

(b)  A list of all School Direct lead schools and their registered partner
schools including their URN.  Note the URNs that we have may not be the
most up to date URN, for example if a school has converted to an academy
since their registration on our system for 2017 to 2018.

(c)  A list of the email address that do not identify individuals

The Department holds the remainder of the information you requested,
however, we are withholding it under exemption S.40(2) -  Request for the
personal data of third party information of names and contact details of
people who are not in the public domain.

The information supplied to you continues to be protected by copyright. 
You are free to use it for your own purposes including for private study
