Dear Mark

 

Total expenditure by schools on agency supply teachers during the 2015/16
financial year was £2.026m.

 

We are unable to provide the names of the organisations used as the
Council does not hold this information for schools.  Should you require
it, you may be able to obtain that information by contacting schools in
the borough directly.

 

Regards

 

Stephen Webb

Business Support Manager (People's Services)
