Schools Surplus and Defecits

Publication date: 
Wednesday 20 March 2024
Request: 

•    A table showing all the local authority-maintained schools the council currently has (accompanied with URNs) and the size of their surplus or deficit 
•    A table showing all the times the council has had to take on a school’s deficit after it opened as a sponsored academy. I would like the table to include the names of the schools (as well as their URNs), the size of the deficit, the year in which it became an academy and whether the council has paid off the deficit 
I am contacting every council to request the same information. 
 
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.
