King Edward VI Academy Trust

The complainant requested raw and standardised test score data. King Edward VI Academy Trust provided the standardised scores, but withheld the raw scores – relying on section 43(2) of the FOIA (commercial interests) in order to do so. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Trust has correctly relied on section 43(2) of the FOIA and that the balance of the public interest favours maintaining this exemption. The Commissioner does not require further steps.
