The complainant has requested the Spires Langton Girls' Grammar School (SLGGS) proposed academy conversion. The DfE provided some information but redacted some information under sections 21, 22, 36(2)(b)(i) and (c), 40(2) and 41(1) FOIA. During the course of the Commissioner’s investigation the DfE withdrew its application of section 21, 22 and 41(1) FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the DfE correctly applied sections 40(2), 36(2)(b)(i) and (ii) FOIA to the withheld information. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken.
