Service Response:
Unfortunately, we are unable to respond to your request as we do not
record the information requested. Although we do process in year
applications for certain schools we do not routinely record whether a
child has subsequently gone on roll after being offered a place. In
addition to this, we do not routinely record a child’s previous school or
address chronology and so would be unable to comment on whether they have
previously attended school or whether they had moved areas.
We supply this information based on your original request. Please do not
hesitate to contact us at the above address if you have any queries
regarding the information enclosed. Remember to quote the reference
number above in any future communications.
If you are unhappy with the handling of your request for information and
wish to make a complaint or request a review of our decision, in the first
instance you should contact the County Council, quoting your request
number given above, at:

complaint, you have the right to apply to the Information Commissioner for
