Dear Thinking Schools Academy Trust,
I write to you under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 to request a copy of the report on governance at Colchester Royal Grammar School that was commissioned by the governors of that academy from the National Governance Association before the academy was transferred to Thinking Schools Academy Trust.
Please could you confirm whether you hold this information and, if you hold it, email a copy to me. Thank you in advance.
Yours faithfully,
Mr F Stephens

and Colchester Royal Grammar School (CRGS) on 22^nd February 2023 and the
subsequent internal review request on 29^th April 2023. From 1^st May 2023

line has been redacted in accordance with our policy and the Freedom of
Information Act as it contains identifiable personal data of a student.

right to ask for an internal review. Internal review requests should be
submitted within two months of the date of receipt of the response to your
original request and should be addressed to Data Protection Officer,
