Freedom of information request

As always, please move if wrong forum.
Anyways, I want to put in an FoI request, so I was wondering if someone could help me with a few questions.
1) It's about a school, a Northern Irish Catholic Grammar to be exact, are they covered by the FoI act?
2) Are the requests anonymous? I'm a past pupil, and my girlfriend is a teacher looking for work, so I don't want to jepordise her chances by antagonising those who might hire her.
3) Are they audited/verified? It would be in the school's interests to lie if I made the request.
Ta for any answers

I think it depends on what type of information you are asking for.0

Can't divulge too much here, but it would be about an amount of spending on a certain "project"I'm not bad at golf, I just get better value for money when I take more shots!0

There's lots of good information on FOI requests here.
Whether you should be asking the school, or the local education authority, I'm not sure.
Perhaps that is a question best asked of the Information Commissioners Office.
