Letter to reflect relationship between non-LA Maintained Schools and a UK federation member

Please refer to the Definition of synthetic scopes for schools and also EduBase (EduBase2) which is used to verify data on schools and by the UK federation to construct synthetic scopes.

LocalAuthority is defined as per EduBase e.g. 801 - Bristol City Of
