17 March 2015, Education (School)
The complainant requested information from St Giles Junior School (‘the School’) in relation to a news report concerning a pupil who was left out of a reward trip for 100% attendance. The complainant wished to know who made the final decision to exclude the pupil from the trip and the number of academic staff that achieved 100% attendance for the year. The School advised that it did not hold information about who made the decision to exclude the pupil from the trip and applied section 40(2) of the FOIA in refusing to disclose the number of academic staff that achieved 100% attendance. The Commissioner’s decision is that the School has complied with the FOIA. The Commissioner does not require the School to take any steps.
FOI 40: Not upheld
