Dear Sir/Madam,

FREEDOM OF INFORMATION REQUEST X04-1845

We refer to your email dated 15 November 2019 which contained a request
for information as set out in italics below.  Following consideration of
your request, in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act 2000, I
respond to each point as follows:

I'd like to make a request under the Freedom of Information Act for the
following information:

The maximum number of students allowed for each primary, secondary, and
special school in Bridgend, based on the space calculation.

Please see attached capacities for primary and secondary schools for
statutory school-age pupils only (i.e. excluding nursery and post 16).
These are calculated using the methodology set out in the Measuring the
Capacity of Schools in Wales guidance (Welsh Government Circular No:
021/2011). That guidance and methodology does not apply to special schools
and there are no capacity calculations for special schools. 

I hope this response satisfies your request. If you are dissatisfied with
the handling of the request, under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 you
have the right to request a review of the Council’s response to your
request for information.  If you wish to request a review, please write to
the below address or email [1][Bridgend County Borough Council request
email] .  Following ICO guidance, a request for a review must be made
within 2 months of a response being received.
