I would like all of the information relating to the following please
Total number of applications for Bidwell Brook school for academic year 2024/25
Only students with an Education Health and Care Plan (EHCP) can be provided with a place at this special school.
As part of the process of obtaining an EHCP schools are consulted as to whether a placement would be suitable.
Schools may be consulted if a professional believes that such a placement would be suitable, or this would be the parental preference.
A school may be consulted multiple times through the placement if there is a change in need or additional evidence is provided.
We do not collate information relation to the number of consults a schools receive and how many are accepted or declined.
There were over 5000 consults which took place last year and to check each one at 2 mins would take 2 x 5000 = 166 hours. This is therefore in excess of the appropriate time limit and compliance with this request would exceed the appropriate cost limit under Section 12 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 which is £450 or 18 hours of officer time.
