The College does not provide the data for each applicant, as per the
exemption under Section 40(2) of the Freedom of Information Act. The

identified. The College has therefore provided summary data in response

Interview Offers:
• 18 applicants were offered an interview and 7 were not
Offers Awarded:
• Between 0-5* offers were awarded
• 7 applicants were pooled and 0-5* applicants were successful
Please note that the range 0-5 is used where numbers are zero or very
small, as the release of the precise figure would risk identification of
the personal data of individuals. This is exempt under section 40(2) of
the FOIA (Personal Data). The processing of this information for
disclosure under FOI would be unlawful or unfair, and would contravene
principle (a) of the UK GDPR
Your right to seek a review:
If you are dissatisfied with this response you may request an independent
internal review of our handling of your request by submitting a complaint
within two months to the address below, quoting reference FOI 2023-36. If
you ask for an internal review, it would be helpful if you could say why
you are dissatisfied with the response.
As part of any internal review Robinson College’s handling of your
information request will be reassessed by staff who were not involved in
providing you with this response. If you remain dissatisfied after this
internal review, you would have a right of complaint to the Information
Commissioner as established by section 50 of the Freedom of Information
Act.

Dear Freedom of Information Officer,
Would it be possible for the college to provide data in a format similar to a request sent to the college in the past?
The request in question is linked here: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/a...
Apologies for the reply, I just wondered if the precedent set by this request can be replicated for my own. If this is not possible, I understand, and I thank you for your time.
Yours sincerely,
A.A. Wells
