Dear Maxine

FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT 2000 - INFORMATION REQUEST

Your request for information has been considered and the information requested can be found below.

Question

I am interested in the amounts paid by each school in Slough Borough Council to third parties in relation to temporary staffing cover. My hope is to receive an electronic breakdown of amounts paid through the department's purchase ledger by school.

Notes:

1. I would like the information in electronic format. This should avoid any printing cost issues.

2. In order to avoid your having to collate information from peripheral systems, I am willing to accept information only from your main system (I would like you to advise which system this is). By main system I mean the system that handles the largest part of the department's expenditure. If supplier payments are made through separate systems, then I would like you to choose the main system for each.

3. The information I require for each school is: School Name; Supplier name and total amount paid.

4. I would like the information to cover the year 2008/9. I will accept 2007/8 figures if this is not possible.

Answer

Please see below information which has been taken from the Schools Annual CFR Returns for 2008-09. Slough Schools do not use the authorities Purchase Ledger.

This information details the amounts paid for Agency Supply Teachers and does not include other temporary staff. We do not collect information on who the individual suppliers are.

More detailed information would only be available from schools.
