Dear Fraser Knight,

FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT 2000 - INFORMATION REQUEST - REF NO - FOIS3741

I refer to your request for information received on 05/09/2023 concerning
Schools using temporary accommodation.

To respond to your request, I have repeated your questions raised and
provided a response

in blue text below each question.

I'd like to request the following information is revealed:

- The total number of schools in the local authority.

This information is available from the Government website Get Information
About Schools
[1]https://www.get-information-schools.serv...

- Of these, the number of schools using some form of 'temporary or
emergency accommodation' for some of their functions, as of 5th September
2023.

The Local Authority is not aware of any schools using some form of
‘temporary or accommodation' for some of their functions, as of 5th
September 2023. For this response, the definition of temporary or
emergency has been taken as accommodation intended to be in place for less
than 1 year.

- Examples of temporary accommodation being used (marquee, portacabin,
disused office space etc.)
