  • Decision(s) FOI 3: Upheld, FOI 43(2): Not upheld

The complainant requested information about an 11+ test. King Edward VI Academy Trust (‘the Trust’) disclosed some information under the data protection legislation. It has denied holding the remaining information for its own purposes but also withheld it under section 43(2) of FOIA, which concerns commercial interests. The Commissioner’s decision is that under section 3(2)(a) of FOIA the Trust holds the information to which it applied section 43(2) and correctly applied that exemption to it. It’s not necessary for the Trust to take any corrective steps.
