The complainant has requested from Golborne Community Primary School (the “School”) the number of pupils that have been withdrawn from the School during a specific period, details of staff absences and departures, and the number of complaints logged with the School. The School refused to comply with the request for information on the basis that the request is vexatious in accordance with section 14 of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the request is vexatious and that the School has correctly applied section 14 of the FOIA to refuse the request. The Commissioner does not require the School to take any steps.
