Highdown School and Sixth Form Centre
The complainant has requested information from Highdown School and Sixth Form Centre (‘the School’) about an incident involving their child. The School has refused to comply with the request under the FOIA as it considers the request to be vexatious under section 14(1). The Commissioner’s decision is as follows: The request cannot be categorised as a vexatious request under section 14(1). The School has breached section 17(5) as it did not provide the complainant with a section 14 refusal notice within the required timescale of 20 working days. The Commissioner requires the School to take the following step to ensure compliance with the legislation: Provide the complainant with a response to their request of 18 December 2019 that complies with the FOIA. If the School considers that the requested information should be withheld under any of the section 40 exemptions its response should be an appropriate refusal notice.FOI 17: Complaint upheld FOI 14: Complaint upheld
