Dear The Law Society,

I address this request to The Law Society, as regulators of the academic stage of training.

1) A breakdown of the percentage of part-time GDL students at BPP University (London centres only, if possible) attaining each overall classification (fail, pass, commendation, distinction) for each of the last five years.

2) A breakdown of the percentage of full-time GDL students at BPP University (London centres only, if possible) attaining each overall classification (fail, pass, commendation, distinction) for each of the last five years.

3) A breakdown of the percentage of part-time distance ("online") learning GDL students at BPP University attaining each overall classification (fail, pass, commendation, distinction) for each of the last five years.

3) A breakdown of the percentage of full-time distance learning ("online") GDL students at BPP University attaining each overall classification (fail, pass, commendation, distinction) for each of the last five years.

Please note that an inability on your part to supply information on any of the information, in whole or in part, requests would not retract the request for any other information, in whole or in part, requested.
If this request, in part or in whole, is deemed “vexatious” I request that an explanation of why each part was so deemed be supplied, and that those be parts be treated separately from requests of other information.

Yours faithfully,

Daniel Kandel
