Walsall Council

The complainant has requested information on performance bands assigned to primary schools in his local area. Walsall Metropolitan Borough Council (“the Council”) considered the information exempt from disclosure on the basis of section 36(2)(b)(ii) and (c). The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council has correctly engaged section 36(2)(b)(ii) and the public interest favours maintaining the exemption. She requires no steps to be taken.
