FREEDOM OF INFORMATION
All public authorities, including schools, are required under the Freedom of Information Act to adopt a publication scheme that the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) has approved.
There is currently one approved model publication scheme, which has been produced by the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).
Schools must adopt the ICO’s model scheme and make it publicly available. Please click on this link to view this document:

Schools should publish a guide to information alongside the publication scheme.
The guide should specify:
- the documents available
- the format of the documents
- any charges made for the information
