Number of Local Authority-Maintained Schools 2023-2024

Request

I am writing to you under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 to request information held by your local authority on local authority-maintained school budgets

Specifically, I would like to be sent:

1. The number of local authority-maintained schools in the area in 2023-2024

2. The total school budget funding allocated to local authority-maintained schools from the overall school budget share (which is decided by the council) in 2023-2024. I would like these figures to be broken down by school

3. What if any services were de-delegated from the school budget share by the council in 2023-2024

4. The total amount of money de-delegated in 2023-2024. I would like these figures broken down by school

5. What services the council - or its trading company - provided for schools in 2023-2024? From this, how many local authority-maintained schools bought into the service and how much did this cost them in 2023-2024?



I would like the figures to be broken down by school If any of the information is already in the public domain, please can you direct me to it, with page references and URLs if necessary.
