Dear Amber

Further to your Freedom of Information request dated 20 November 2023, I
write to inform you that we will not be providing the information you have
requested, on the grounds that your request is likely to cause
disproportionate or unjustified disruption to our work.

The Cabot Learning Federation Trust is exercising its right under s14(1)
of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and guidance on this can be found
on the website of the Information Commissioner’s Office here:

[1]Dealing with vexatious requests (section 14) | ICO

 The CLF has a responsibility as an academy trust to ensure that public
money is spent appropriately and in the best interests of the children
served by our schools.  In making these decisions, we ask whether the
request is likely to cause disproportionate or unjustified disruption to
our work.  Pursuant to case law in this area, we may also consider whether
a request is an inappropriate or improper use of the Freedom of
Information Act. In this instance, it was decided that answering your
request would cause unjustified and disproportionate disruption to our
work and that the Cabot Learning Federation would not be in breach of its
statutory duties, nor of its commitment to transparency, in refusing the
request. This is because the time involved in collating the information
that you have requested would inevitably disrupt the work of the Trust in
seeking to educate it pupils, and there is very limited public interest in
the information that you have requested.

Kind regards,

William Lamb
