Turnover of teachers and teaching assistants at all secondary schools (FOI)

​Request 696867325

​Hello, I have a follow up on the below: 

- In FOI 686513967 a figure is given for the turnover of teaching assistants at GrainvilleSchool.

But in a previous FOI I was told that the education department does not have these figures?

Could I have figures for turnover of both teachers and teaching assistants at all Islandsecondary schools? Or at least the data where it exists (in the case of Grainville).

Response

It is not possible to provide the turnover rates requested. To provide an accurate response would require manipulation of data. The Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 does not require a Scheduled Public Authority to manipulate data to provide a response. Therefore, this information is not held and Article 3 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 applies.

- I would like to know how many Island schools for which turnover data exists, please?

Response

Turnover data is not available as this would require manipulation of data. The Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 does not require a Scheduled Public Authority to manipulate data to provide a response. Therefore, this information is not held and Article 3 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 applies.
