Dear Blackpool Borough Council,

My full name is Dr. Ines Lee. I am a lecturer in Economics at the University of York. I am writing to you under the Freedom of Information Act to request the following information on each secondary school in your borough:

- School Name
- Local Authority Establishment Number (LAESTAB)
- Unique Reference Number (URN)
- The number of children admitted under a distance criterion for year 7 entry

I would like this information for the school years 2013/14 through to 2014/15.

Many thanks,
Dr Ines Lee
