Ateb

Please see attached the information my team holds in relation to the below questions

1. School budgets and financial position

Please see attached.

2. Staffing levels

Please see attached

Please note: we do not have access to this information readily.

We have used the salary reports my team hold and estimated the FTE for teaching and non-teaching for the periods.

There are gaps as a team we do not hold all schools’ information. It does also include Grant funded staff and staff funded through enhanced support (ALN) which is based on children’s need and alters year to year; therefore, it does not give a true picture of year-to-year change as the funding (not through the FA) changes on a yearly basis. As stated, this information is estimated based on staff salary.

Q3,4,5 see attached

Question 3,4,5 we have gone through Governing body minutes for the period and put the dates of the minutes where these areas were discussed, noted, or agreed – the dates in red the minutes are marked confidential.

6. Correspondence

This data Would be held by Welsh government

7. Risk assessments

Would have been conducted at school level.
