Freedom of Information Publication Scheme

The Freedom of Information Act (2000) (FOI) requires all Public Authorities (including schools) to produce a register of the types of information it will routinely make available to the public. This publication scheme follows a template approved by the Information Commissioner.

The scheme commits our school to:
• Proactively/routinely publish information which is held by us falling within the “Classes” below (see section 2 of the document below) in line with this scheme.
• Specify the information
• Explain how it will be made available
• Review and update information on a regular basis
• Explain any fees to be charged for the information
• Make this scheme publicly available
• Publish information held by the school that has been requested (unless not appropriate to do so)
• Publish information in a digital form that is capable of being re-used (under FOI Section 19 and the Re-use of Public Sector Information Regulations (2015))
• Make clear if any information is a relevant copyright work (under FOI Section 19(8)) and the school is the only owner
