Dear Jessica,

Thank you for your email, which has been forwarded to me to respond to.

Please accept my apologies for the delay in acknowledging your request.
This is because last week was half term and I was on annual leave.

I will deal with this as a Freedom of Information Request and will aim to
process the request within the statutory timescale of 20 working days. I
calculate the 20 working days to expire 12^th March 2024.

I will come back to you, however, as soon as I can, once I have looked
into your request further.

Yours sincerely,

Jethro

Dear Jessica,

Further to my email below, I have made some enquiries with our Student
Recruitment and Applications Manager. We do not currently, nor have we in
the past, as far as he is aware, offered any Modern Foreign Language
A-Levels.

Askham Bryan College is a specialist land-based college, predominantly
providing education and training for students over the age of 16, and
offering a range of land-based courses such as animal management, equine,
horticulture, vet nursing, etc and is an exempt charity for the purposes
of Part 3 of the Charities Act 2011.

I trust this answers your query.

However, if you are not satisfied with this outcome, then you have the
right to an internal review, in which case you should email
[1][email address]

You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s
Office, who can be contacted via the following link

Yours sincerely,

Jethro
