The complainant requested from Beths Grammar School (‘the school’) information regarding exam grades. The school disclosed the information in an anonymised format. The complainant requested the information be provided in a different format. The school refused that request under section 40(2) of the FOIA (personal data) as it considered that disclosure would identify individual students. The Commissioner’s decision is that the school correctly applied section 40(2). The Commissioner does not require the school to take any steps.
