LA school's deficit in the 2021/22 financial year - Find a freedom of information request

I have some FOI questions relating to school funding cuts, and the impact on councils.

1.a) How many LA schools had a deficit in the 2021/22 financial year (please include the actual number of schools in deficit and the actual number of schools you have - ie 2 in deficit of 20 schools)

1.b) What was the cumulative deficit of those schools?

2.a) How many schools are you projecting will go into financial deficit this financial year (2022/23) (same as above).

2.b) What is the predicted cumulative deficit of those?

3) If you have similar projections for 2023/24 then please do provide.

4) When LA schools become sponsored academies, the deficit stays with the LA. Please can you tell me the total deficit your LA has taken on in the past three financial years, and the number of sponsored academies this relates to? (If three years is not possible, please just do the last financial year)
