Dear Mr Burns,

In response to your request dated 7 April, I can confirm that the college's last prospectus was designed in-house, the artwork was produced in-house and 3,000 copies were printed. The college is not currently planning for a new website, with the current website going live in January 2015. Other parts of your request are considered to be of commercial interest and as such we consider this information to be exempt from disclosure under section 43 of the Freedom of Information (FoI) Act. Specifically, section 43 of the Act permits us to protect our own commercial interests and those of third parties with whom we engage. The Act also permits us to decline to provide information where "it would be used by the enquirer to gain competitive advantage in the marketplace".

I hope that the information provided above is helpful to you. However, if you are unhappy with the way your request has been handled you have a right to appeal to the Information Commissioner at:
