The complainant has requested salary information relating to staff at Cottesloe School (the School). The School provided the complainant with some information but withheld information under section 40(2) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA). The complainant confirmed that he wished to obtain salary information within Pounds 5,000 bands for the headteacher and deputy headteachers for the previous 5 years. The School provided this information to the complainant during the Commissioner’s investigation. The School therefore withdrew its application of section 40(2) FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the School breached section 10(1) of the FOIA as it did not provide this salary information within the statutory time for compliance. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken.
