Summary: The complainant has requested information relating to the complaints log and to the complaints and communications policies and procedures at Adlington St. Paul-™s Church of England Primary School (-˜the school-™). The school initially responded by providing information in response to the request. The school subsequently refused the request on the grounds that it viewed the request to be vexatious and therefore applied section 14 of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). In an attempt to resolve the matter informally, the school later provided more information in response to the request. The complainant complained again about this response. The school then changed its response, stating that it holds no further information that falls within the scope of the request. It no longer applied section 14 FOIA. The Commissioner-™s decision is that, on the balance of probabilities, the school holds no information that falls within the scope of the request other than the information which the school has already disclosed. The Commissioner therefore finds that the school has complied with section 1(1)(a) of the FOIA and the Commissioner does not require any steps to be taken.
