    Freedom of Information – Response – 4643 Request: I am interested in the amounts paid by each school within your LEA to third parties in relation to temporary staffing cover. My hope is to receive an electronic breakdown of amounts paid through the department's purchase ledger by school. Notes: 1. I would like the information in electronic format. This should avoid any printing cost issues. 2. In order to avoid your having to collate information from peripheral systems, I am willing to accept information only from your main system (I would like you to advise which system this is).By main system I mean the system that handles the largest part of the department's expenditure. If supplier payments are made through separate systems, then I would like you to choose the main system for each. 3. The information I require for each school is: school name; supplier name and total amount paid. 4. I would like the information to cover the year 2011/12. If you are unable to provide the exact figures any information covering from April 2011 to April 2012 if full or part would be very useful. Response: Please see the table below.

  • The East's Institute of Technology
    The East’s Institute of Technology Our Vision To create a skills pipeline; drawing young people into technical careers through the offer of attractive and aspirational career pathways; providing the East’s higher-value Advanced Manufacturing, Agri- Tech, Engineering, Energy, and Digital businesses with a reliable and sustainable supply of technical professionals. This can be achieved by creating The East’s Institute of Technology (IoT). The East’s IoT model has drawn from existing models from around the world such as: Community Colleges (America and Canada); Polytechnics (UK); Institutes of Technology (Republic of Ireland) and individual examples such as the Centre for Engineering and Manufacturing Excellence (UK), Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (UK), the Rotterdam Academy and Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences (Holland) and University of the Highlands and Islands (UK). It recognises that the “training-work-retirement” model is no longer applicable to our fast-moving new skills, new jobs industries; and so The East’s IoT seeks to provide technical education and training that ensures the area’s workforce is reactive and able adjust their skills in response to labour-market needs. Applying Our Vision to the Eastern Region The IoT model, though founded on extensive research and experience, must be flexible when applied to a region like the East of England. The Eastern region, home to 5.8 million people and worth £146 billion, is far from homogenous; it has a unique mix of urban, rural and coastal communities, all with distinct needs. The East’s IoT will unite the rural and urban pockets of the East into a ‘virtual learning city’, thereby delivering a custom skills solution capable of meeting the needs of the region overall.
