This is a formal freedom of information and as such you are required to respond in full within 20 working days.
Under the freedom of information act please can you provide a copy of all email chains between the CEO of your Trust and Priestley College (a college in Warrington in Cheshire that is part of another academy trust called The Challenge Academy Trust) between the 1st April 2023 and present. I understand that you will need to redact personal information and also potentially other information.
Additionally, under the freedom of information act please can you provide a copy of all email chains between the CEO of your Trust and James Gresty (James is the principal of Priestley College) between the 1st April 2023 and present. I understand that you will need to redact personal information and also potentially other information. Please include emails sent to James’s work email as well as James’s personal email as long as they were sent from the CEO’s work email address.
Please note that if you choose to withhold/refuse to disclose any of this information then you will also be required to do the following:
1. Confirm which exemption under the freedom of information act that you are relying on in order to withhold the requested information.

Good afternoon
I am responding in regards to the Freedom of Information request received
by our central admin team on the 14^th of September 2023.
You requested that we provide a copy of all email chains between the CEO
of our Trust and Priestley College (a college in Warrington in Cheshire
that is part of another academy trust called The Challenge Academy Trust)
between the 1st April 2023 and present.
I am unable to do this as no chain exists as our CEO has never been on
contact with Priestley College.
You also requested we provide a copy of all email chains between the CEO
of our Trust and James Gresty (James is the principal of Priestley
College) between the 1st April 2023 and present.
I am unable to do this as no chain exists because our CEO has never been
in contact with James Gresty in any manner.
I reiterate we are not refusing to comply with this request. Our CEO has
never had any contact with either of the parties mentioned in your request
therefore there is no information available to share.
Regards,
M Fullwood
