School priority admission areas

We're waiting for Mike Thompson to read recent responses and update the status.

Dear Wirral Metropolitan Borough Council,

I'm writing to ask whether you could provide me with the priority admission area data for all state schools (of all phases) within your local authority, which may be being used by a school catchment/priority area checker on your website.

I note that other local authorities publish this data publicly, like Hampshire County Council, Leeds City Council and Nottingham City Council.

It would be great if you could provide this information in an electronic, reusable format such as GeoJSON, KML or SHP.

I am asking for this in order to supplement a website I have created to help parents find out more about schools near them. You can see it here:
http://admissionsday.co.uk

Please do email me or call me on the number below if you wish to discuss this request, particularly if there are any complications that could lead to a refusal.

Yours faithfully,

Mike Thompson

Dear Mr Thompson,

 

Thank you for your recent FOI submitted under the Freedom of Information
Act 2000.

 

Schools policies regarding priority admissions are published online in a
composite prospectus at [1]www.wirral.gov.uk/schooladmissions  and
individually on each school’s websites.

 

I trust this satisfies your request in full.

to ask for an internal review if you are dissatisfied with the information
provided to you. Please direct any request for an internal review to

Hi Chelsea,

No, I'm afraid it doesn't. My request is for the underlying data describing school priority admission areas in Wirral, not the for information about school admission policies.

Your GIS or IT team should have easy access to this information.

Yours sincerely,

Mike Thompson

Good morning Mr Thompson,

Thank you for your email. I apologise you feel the initial response was not sufficient.

I have forwarded this to the officer who collated the information, who will hopefully return with a more substantial response.
