Free School FOI Shorts: County Council Impact Assessment for the DfE

Freedom of Information requests give an interesting insight into how local government works and what you find is by no means all bad. In fact I have been impressed by much of what I have read.

In early November 2011the DfE visited Suffolk for a meeting about free schools. This was the Agenda:

1. Free school activity in Suffolk
o 2011 open - Stour Valley • Home to school transporto 2012 round applicants: Stoke by Nayland, Diamond House School (Gemstones) - update o 2013(?) Ixworth/Stanton

2. Approved 2012 projects
