Dear MWESTPFEL (Director of Finance and Operations),

I would like to seek clarification, as you state you have 238 sixth form students enrolled however only 184 of these are accounted for in the breakdown of courses studied?

Yours sincerely,

Felix Johnson

Dear Mrs Westpfel (Director of Finance and Operations),

To clarify my request, I was requesting the totals for all qualification types presently studied; the list provided was just an example of some possible combinations. It would appear from your website, for example, that you have a number of students studying L3 BTECs. Would you be able to provide these details additionally?

Yours sincerely,

Felix Johnson

Dear St. Thomas More High School, Westcliff-on-Sea,

Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.

I am writing to request an internal review of St. Thomas More High School, Westcliff-on-Sea's handling of my FOI request '16-18 Students'.

This request has been dealt with in an unreasonable manner. My original request included "etc, for all combinations of qualifications studied in the sixth form." It would appear that this has been overlooked, and subsequent attempts to reclarify have been very bluntly refused. As I'm sure you're aware, according to sections 8 through 10 of the Code of practice on the discharge of public authorities functions under part 1 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000, public bodies should provide reasonable assistance in helping applicants to clarify their requests. I'm afraid I do not understand why my request was not clear, and do not feel I have been provided with adequate assistance to understand why, either.

This wording was clearly understood by South Essex College in this request https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/1....

A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/1...

Yours faithfully,

Felix Johnson

I am referring this to the ICO for their bad practice and failure to properly internally review.
