Dear Jorno Jaynes,  

Request for information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (“the
Act”)

Further to your recent request for information held by King’s College
London, I am writing to confirm that the requested information is held by
the university.

Your request

We received your information request on 2^nd March 2024 and have treated
it as a request for information made under section 1(1) of the Act.

You requested the following information:

1. the number of first year undergraduate entrants for September 2023
entry who took 3 or more A Levels. This includes all undergraduate
courses.

2. The number of these entrants in Point 1 above who attained grades AAA
or above at A Level (grades A*AB are not considered equivalent).

Our response

The attached appendix provides details relevant to your request. Please
consider the notices in red when analysing the data.

Please Note:

Data presented for those entrants studying on courses applied to via UCAS
where 3 or more A Levels were verified by UCAS and provided to us.

We consider that disclosure of the information in the exact form requested
might enable those with access to other information or knowledge to
identify individuals and learn new information about those individuals
e.g. those on the same course or at the same university. Disclosure of
this information would contravene article 5(1) of the UK GDPR which
requires personal data to be ‘processed lawfully, fairly, and in a
transparent manner in relation to the data subject’. The rights of the
individual, and the possible consequences of disclosure, make disclosure
both unfair and unlawful.

For this reason, we have taken measures to reduce the risk of
identification, in this case where the number of students is five or fewer
the University has replaced the figure with ‘equal to or less than five’
(˜5).

This completes the university’s response to your information request.

Your right to complain

If you are unhappy with the service you have received in relation to your
information request or feel that it has not been properly handled you have
the right to complain or request a review of our decision by contacting
the Director of Information Governance & Data Protection Officer within 60
days of the date of this letter.

Further information about our internal complaints procedure is available
at the link below:

In the event that you are not content with the outcome of your complaint
you may apply to the Information Commissioner for a decision. Generally,
the Information Commissioner cannot make a decision unless you have
exhausted the internal complaints procedure provided by King’s College
London.

The Information Commissioner can be contacted at the following address:

The Information Commissioner’s Office
