Diocese of Leicester Academies Trust

The complainant requested agendas and minutes of governors’ meetings held at Christ Church and St Peter’s Primary School, Leicester (“the school”) during the academic year 2018 – 2019. The school is a member of a multi-academy trust, Diocese of Leicester Academies Trust (“the Trust”) which is, therefore, the public authority with responsibility for fulfilling the request. The Trust provided the minutes, but redacted some information from them under section 40(2) of the FOIA – personal information. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Trust withheld some information correctly. However, the Commissioner has determined that some of the withheld information is not personal data within the definition at section 3(2) of the Data Protection Act 2018, and was therefore withheld incorrectly. She has also determined that other parts of the withheld information, while being personal data, may lawfully be disclosed, for the reasons set out in this notice. The Commissioner requires the Trust to take the following step to ensure compliance with the legislation - disclose the information specified in paragraphs 22-25 and 60 of this notice, which has been more precisely described in a separate, confidential cover letter to the Trust.

FOI 40(2): Complaint partly upheld
