DearRandstad Education

I am writing in response to your request for information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (‘FOIA’), which we received on 4th August 2011.

The wording of your request was as follows:

I am interested in the amounts paid by each school in RedbridgeCouncilin relation to temporary teacher staffing cover.

My hope is to receive an electronic breakdown of amounts paid byeach school from the Consistent Financial Reporting System for eachschool. The specific CFR codes I would like to examine are “CFR02-Supply Teachers" and "CFR26-Agency Staff".

Notes:

  1. I would like the information in electronic format (and ifpossible, In Excel to assist with calculations). This should avoid any printing cost issues.
  1. The information I require for each school is: School Name, CFR02Annual Total, CFR26 Annual Total.
  1. If it is also possible, please could the spend be broken down byprimary, Secondary, and Special Needs schools.
  1. I would like the information to cover the 2010/2011 financialyear.

Your assistance with this request is greatly appreciated.

A subsequent email received on 4 August at 9:49am read:
