Dear Dr Lee,

 

I am writing in response to your request dated 19/11/2023. This has been
dealt with under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

 

The Council’s response to your specific questions is set out below:

 

I am writing to you under the Freedom of Information Act to request the
following information on each secondary school in your borough:

 

- School Name

- Local Authority Establishment Number (LAESTAB)

- Unique Reference Number (URN)

 

The Council does hold the requested information but considers this is
exempt under Section 21 of the Freedom of Information Act, because the
information is reasonably accessible to you by other means, because it is
already in the public domain.

 

Section 21 of the Act provides that:

 

(1) Information which is reasonably accessible to the applicant otherwise
than under section 1 is exempt information.

(2) For the purposes of subsection (1)—

(a) information may be reasonably accessible to the applicant even though
it is accessible only on payment, and

(b) information is to be taken to be reasonably accessible to the
applicant if it is information which the public authority or any other
person is obliged by or under any enactment to communicate (otherwise than
by making the information available for inspection) to members of the
public on request, whether free of charge or on payment.

(3) For the purposes of subsection (1), information which is held by a
public authority and does not fall within subsection (2)(b) is not to be
regarded as reasonably accessible to the applicant merely because the
information is available from the public authority itself on request,
unless the information is made available in accordance with the
authority’s publication scheme and any payment required is specified in,
or determined in accordance with, the scheme.

 

This information for all Kirklees Secondary Schools is available here:
[1]Search results for '' - GOV.UK (get-information-schools.service.gov.uk)

 

- The number of children admitted under a distance criterion for year 7
entry

- The distance of the furthest child admitted under a distance criterion
for year 7 entry (in miles or KM)

 

I would like this information for the school years 2013/14 through to
2014/15.

 

Information about how year 7 places were allocated and the distance of the
furthest child is available on the Kirklees Website:  Admissions
Statistics on this link;  [2]Policies and publications | Kirklees Council

admission authority schools are described below.
