Please provide this information broken down by school. If this is not possible, provide overall numbers for TA apprentices in LA schools and their rate of pay.
To provide a full breakdown of this information by school may identify the teaching assistant apprentices at each school. This would risk a disclosure of their personal information and would be a breach of the first data protection principle. This information is therefore exempt from disclosure pursuant to s. 40(2) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000.
