Dear FOI,

Thank you for your reply to my FOI request.

You provided the results for 'Predicted Grades', 'A level Results' and 'NSAA scores' and identified those candidates (anonymised).
My request asked for the above to identify candidates who received an 'offer from first college' but this does not appear to have been included. Please could you provide this - or an explanation as to why it cannot be provided.
In addition, please could you clarify the meanings of the 'yes' used under the headings 'winter pool place' and 'winter pool offer'.

Yours sincerely,

John Redmayne

Dear Mr Redmayne,

Apologies; this was an oversight. The data is reattached with a 'First College Offer' column included on each tab.

The 'Yes' respectively means that the relevant applicant (i) was placed into the winter pool and (ii) received an offer as a result of that pooling.
