The complainant has requested information about FOI requests/publications, safety protocols, and data protection services from the Thomas Coram School (the school). The school is one of the two educational establishments that have the Castle Church of England Federation as “the Governing Body […] responsible for both schools in the Federation” . Under FOIA, the Castle Church of England Federation is the public authority. However, for the purposes of this decision notice ‘the school’ will be referenced throughout. The school refused the requests, citing section 14(1) of FOIA – vexatious request. The Commissioner’s decision is that the requests were vexatious under section 14(1) of FOIA. The Commissioner does not require any steps as a result of this notice. Information Tribunal FT/EA/2024/0179 under appeal.
