The complainant submitted a complaint to Hunter’s Bar Junior School about its provision of special educational needs support to his daughter. Under the Data Protection Act 1998 and the FOIA, he then requested information used in the consideration of this complaint. He also requested any public information the school held concerning the involvement of a solicitor’s firm in handling his complaints since 2007. The school refused the FOIA part of the request as vexatious under section 14(1). The Commissioner’s decision is that the school has correctly applied section 14(1) to that part of the request which fell under the FOIA. There are no further steps to be taken.
