St John the Baptist Primary School

14 August 2017, Education (School)

The complainant has requested information relating to Governor’s and Committee meetings, and reports and papers considered at those meetings. The Commissioner’s decision is that St John the Baptist Primary School (the school) has correctly applied regulation 12(4)(e) (internal communications) to the majority of the withheld information and regulation 13 (personal data) to the redacted information. However, the Commissioner also finds that part of the withheld information does not engage the exception at 12(4)(e). The Commissioner requires the public authority to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation. Disclose the information in document foi1, pages 6 -13, aside from the redactions outlined in paragraph 58 of this decision notice. The public authority must take these steps within 35 calendar days of the date of this decision notice. Failure to comply may result in the Commissioner making written certification of this fact to the High Court pursuant to section 54 of the Act and may be dealt with as a contempt of court.
