Please can you provide a comprehensive list of educational assets (that is: land and school buildings) transferred from your local authority to the Church of England (also "Diocese") between 2010 and 31 December 2023.
I would be grateful if you could also provide the following information:

Clarification: I mean "owned". So the name and type (community, VA, VC, etc) of the school and its assets prior to any transfer to the CofE (ie. John Smith Primary School was a community school prior to its merger with and subsequent asset transfer to St John Smith CofE Voluntary Aided School).
· whether the transfer of assets came about as part of a school merger
· if yes to the above, the name and type (community, voluntary aided, voluntary controlled, free school, academy, etc) of school following the merger.
I would be grateful if you could provide the information in electronic form - preferably as a spreadsheet.

I am making this request under the terms of the Freedom of Information Act 2000. Information obtained from the request will feed into research on outdoor-based therapeutic support on offer through English Local Authorities, to vulnerable children and families in their care.
Please could you provide me with data for the following financial years on the table attached to this email:
● 1st April 2021- 31st March 2022*

Examples of services in your organisation where this may happen could be Children's Social Care, Youth Justice, Early Intervention, Children We Care For Teams/ Looked After Child Teams, post adoption support, etc.
The request has four areas of interest:
1.a) Outdoor Therapeutic Services not part of a residential care setting, delivered internally.
1.b) Outdoor Therapeutic Services not part of a residential care setting, that you have commissioned.
2.a) Outdoor Therapeutic Services that are part of a residential care setting, delivered internally.
