Dear Mr Lewis

Thank you for your email. Please not that Oxford and Cherwell Valley College is not a legal entity and is therefore not subject to the Freedom of Information Act. The legal entity that runs the site formerly known as Oxford and Cherwell Valley College is Activate Learning, and we are happy to deal with your request under the act. However, before we are able to do this, we would need to clarify if you require information for the whole of the Activate Learning group, or just for the Oxford campus?

Please let me know and we will be able to deal with your request.

Kind regards,

Nathan Lagden
Compliance Officer
