The complainant has requested from Reading School (the “School”) copies of the test papers for the Year 7 day-boy entry and for information broadly relating to the School’s admissions process. The School provided the complainant with some information to part 1 of the request and it confirmed that it does not hold any further information relating to part 3. To the remaining parts of the request, the School refused to comply on the basis that the request is vexatious in accordance with section 14 of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the School does not hold any further information falling within the scope of part 3 of the request. His decision is also that the School has correctly applied the vexatious provision at section 14(1) of the FOIA to the remaining parts of the request. The Commissioner does not require the School to take any steps.
