Beaulieu School accounts from 2019 to-date (FOI)​

Please kindly provide the accounts for 2022 and 2023.

Response

The accounts for 2022 are accessible to the public via the States Greffe.  Article 23 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 has therefore been applied. 

The accounts for 2023 are not yet held by the Government of Jersey, therefore Article 3 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 applies.
