Overton Grange School
The complainant has requested information associated with an incident during an assessment, including the qualifications of an invigilator and a mark scheme. Overton Grange School (‘the School’) withheld some of the information the complainant requested under section 36(2)(c) of the FOIA (prejudice to effective conduct of public affairs) and withheld some under section 40(2) (personal data). The Commissioner’s decision is as follows: The School is entitled to withhold the information requested in part 3 of the request under section 36(2)(c) of the FOIA and the public interest favours withholding the information. The School is entitled to withhold information within scope of part 1 of the request under section 40(2) of the FOIA because it is the personal data of a third person and disclosing it would be unlawful. The School’s refusal of the request was inadequate and did not comply with the requirements of section 17(1) or section 17(3) of the FOIA. The Commissioner does not require the School to take any remedial steps.FOI 17: Complaint upheld FOI 40: Complaint not upheld FOI 36: Complaint not upheld
