The complainant has requested the spellings used in the literacy test taken by prospective trainee teachers over a 12 month period. He asked for each spelling and data showing which were mostly misspelt and which were mostly spelt correctly. For each of the spellings mostly misspelt he required the absolute number of candidates and percentage of candidates for each word. The DfE refused to disclose the requested information citing section 36(2)(c) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the DfE acted appropriately by refusing to disclose the requested information under section 36(2)(c) of the FOIA. As a result she does not require any further action to be taken.
