Dear Lateef

Thank you for your reply however I think there may be an admin error in that the documents relate to a different school in Kent and are nothing to do my my request.

Pease could you look at providing the information requested as soon as you are able?

Good Evening Lateef

Thank you for your reply and the attachment- much appreciated.

I have not downloaded a copy of the other information - I just viewed it quickly online read the first few lines and disregarded it. As such. I am pleased to confirm that I do not have this to detroy and have disregarded it.

I note that the FOI includes refrences to limiting emails so avoid information being available under FOI but it does refer to a letter expected in June. Assuming this letter was delayed as was issued after the 4th July I will shortly place a further FOI to cover the 4th July to date.

Yours sincerely,

Emma Burgess
