Freedom of Information

Publication Scheme

The Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA) requires all public authorities, including schools, to adopt and maintain a publication scheme approved by the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).

The Publication Scheme sets out the types of information that we routinely make available to the public and how this information can be accessed.

Westbury Infant School has adopted the ICO Model Publication Scheme.

The guide should specify:
