The Model Publication Scheme provides a list of the information routinely published by educational institutions which the ICO expects them to make available unless:

  • They do not hold the information
  • The information is exempt under one of the FOI exemptions or Environmental Information Regulations (EIRs) exceptions, or its release is prohibited under another statute
  • The information is archived, out of date or otherwise inaccessible; or, it would be impractical or resource-intensive to prepare the material for routine release

The Model Publication Scheme and definition document can be downloaded by following the links from https://ico.org.uk/

Information to be made available by the group

The information the group routinely publish falls into the following categories – these have been determined by the ICO:

  • Who we are and what we do
  • What we spend and how we spend it
  • What our priorities are and how we are doing
  • How we make decisions
  • Our policies and procedures
  • Lists and registers
  • The services we offer

Charges for information

The group may make a reasonable charge for information which is not available on its website. Where a charge is to be made this will be notified in advance.

Disclaimer

All information regarding fees and other related information are current but are subject to change for unforeseen reasons at the Conservatoires absolute discretion. Please check with the Conservatoire for the latest fee information. Government policy on entitlement to fee reductions and tax or benefit rules is subject to change. The information printed reflects the Conservatoires understanding at this time but students should check the current position and their personal circumstances before committing to a course. Students are required to pay fees by the due date and failure to do so could lead to your results not being presented to the relevant examination board, and therefore result in you not receiving your certificate.
