Our response

We do not hold information in the requested format (percentiles) and we
are unable to provide you with individualised bespoke data (such as the
highest mark achieved) because this would constitute us creating new data.
However, we have a standard set of data which shows the mean mark and the
module results in deciles. The table below shows, for 2023-24, the mean
mark and the number of students whose marks were within each respective
decile for the modules listed. The figure under each decile is the number
of students who achieved a score in that range that year. For example, for
the module DEVP0001, 9 students achieved a score between 50 and 59.99.

Please note the following:

·       Marks for the 2023/24 academic year are preliminary, because the
results of Late Summer Assessments are not known yet.

·       Exact numbers of students totalling 5 or fewer have been withheld.
This is because to provide the exact numbers may inadvertently lead to the
identification of these individuals. Whilst there are no personally
identifiable details within the data being withheld, that data, when
combined with other data that may already be available in the public
domain, could be used by ‘motivated intruders’ and other knowledgeable
third parties to identify the individuals concerned. Linking together
separate strands of data available in this way can indirectly lead to an
individual being identified which would breach the first data protection
principle. Further, these individuals would have no expectation that their
identities, by virtue of disclosing this type of information, would be
made known to the wider public and it would be considered unfair to do so.

As this data would be likely to become personal data, this information is
exempt from disclosure and has been withheld under section 40(2) of the
FOIA by virtue of s40(3A)(a). Section 40(2) of the FOIA allows a public
authority to withhold information under the FOIA where (i) the requested
information is personal data relating to someone other than the requester
and (ii) its disclosure would breach any of the data protection
principles. It is for these reasons that this information is exempt under
section 40(2) of the Act. As the section 40(2) exemption is absolute,
there is no need to conduct a public interest test.

You are free to use any information supplied for your own use, including
for non-commercial research purposes. The information may also be used for
the purposes of news reporting. However, any other type of re-use, for
example by publishing or issuing copies to the public, will require the
permission of the copyright owner.

 

If you have any queries or concerns, please contact me using the details
provided in this letter and including the request reference number. If you
are unhappy with our response to your request and wish to make a complaint
or request a review of our decision, please email [1][email address].
Emails should include the words ‘Internal Review’ in the subject and be
marked ‘For the Attention of the Vice-President (Operations)’.
Alternatively, please write to:

Vice-President (Operations)

WC1E 6BT

 

Please note that complaints and requests for internal review received more
than two months after the initial decision will not be handled. If you are
not content with the outcome of the internal review, you may apply
directly to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) by using the
following web address: [2]www.ico.org.uk/foicomplaints or by writing to
