Supply Teacher Spend

We're waiting for Taylor to read a recent response and update the status.

Dear Regional Schools Commissioner for South-East England and South London,

i would like to know the expenditure of supply support and teaching staff in Special Needs Schools in the South East of London.

Yours faithfully,

Taylor

Regional Schools Commissioner for South-East England and South London

Dear  Taylor 

Thank you for your email dated 12 September in which you asked the Regional Schools Commissioner for information on: “the expenditure of supply support and teaching staff in Special Needs Schools in the South East of London”.

The Regional Schools Commissioner has passed your enquiry to me as I publish information on spending by individual schools. I have dealt with your request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (“the Act”). Under section 21 of the Act, the department is not required to provide information in response to a request if it is already reasonably accessible to you.

Data on spending by schools are collected separately for local authority maintained schools (for financial years of April to March) and academies (for academic/financial years of September to August). Please note that since the data relate to different time periods, they are not directly comparable.

Data for 2015/16 have not been produced yet. Data for local authority maintained schools covering 2015-16 will be published in December 2016, while data for academy schools covering 2015/16 will be published in July 2017.

I have provided links for the 2014-15 financial year and the 2014/15 academic/financial year as the most recent years available.

Information on spend in local authority maintained schools for the 2014-15 financial year can be found on the school performance website: https://www.compare-school-performance.s...

To access this dataset, please select:
1) The academic year you are interested in (2014 to 2015)
2) Data for All of England
3) Spend per pupil (full dataset)

Data on expenditure in each school are in sheet 'Raw CFR Data'. Expenditure on supply teachers is measured by adding expenditure from E02 (supply teacher spend), E10 (supply teacher insurance) and E26 (agency staff spending) and subtracting income from I10 (receipts from supply teacher insurance claims).

Information on spend in academy schools for the 2014/15 academic year academic year can be found in our publication Income and expenditure in academies in England<https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics...>. Within the Main Tables<https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/sy...>, sheets: ‘Raw Data SATs’ and ‘Raw Data MAT academies’ show supply staff spend in columns AG to AJ.

In each case you can filter within the Excel files by local authority and phase of education, including special schools.

If you have any queries about this email, please contact me. Please remember to quote the reference number below in any future communications.

If you are unhappy with the way your request has been handled, you should make a complaint to the department by writing to me within two calendar months of the date of this letter. Your complaint will be considered by an independent review panel, who were not involved in the original consideration of your request.

If you are not content with the outcome of your complaint to the department, you may then contact the Information Commissioner’s Office.

Your correspondence has been allocated reference number 2016-0042239. If you need to respond to us, please visit: https://www.education.gov.uk/contactus and quote your reference number.
