Dear Lauren Bullock
 
Request for information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000
 
In response to your request for information received at this office on 22
January 2019, please see the councils response below.
 
You requested
 
Please can you advise the numbers of permanent exclusions and fixed term
exclusions for primary schools in Bolton. Please also advise the numbers
of permanent exclusions and fixed term exclusions from Special Schools in
Bolton.
Our response
 
Bolton Council has considered your request and feels that the information
you request is exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act
2000 (“the Act”).  Section 17 of the Act provides that when refusing a
request, Bolton Council must provide a notice which (a) states that fact,
(b) specifies the exemption in question, and (c) states (if that would not
otherwise be apparent) why the exemption applies.
 
In this case, we consider that the exemption under section 21(1) of the
Act applies.  Section 21(1) provides an exemption where the information is
reasonably sought by other means. The information you request can be found
on the following DFE link:
[1]https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk...
 
Accordingly, we feel this information is reasonably accessible by other
means, therefore making the application of section 21(1) appropriate in
this case. In accordance with the Act, this constitutes a refusal notice
for your request.
 
 
As per the Information Commissioners Office’s Freedom of Information Code
of Practice, should you disagree with our decision, you may appeal within
40 working days of this email to:
The Borough Solicitor, Bolton Council, Town Hall, Bolton, BL1 1RU
Email: [2][email address]
 
Should you further disagree with the decision following the appeal you may
wish to contact the Information Commissioner:
