Dear Abbey Grange Academy,
I am writing with regard to the above FOI request to remind you that you are legally required to respond within 20 working days, which in this case should have been by 2 December 2020.
Please could you issue your response ASAP?
When doing so, please make sure:
a) to include all of the requested information for each of the three time periods listed in the original FOI request (Sept 2019 - Mar 2020; April 2020 - July 2020; Sept 2020 - Present), rather than overall
b) to indicate how many of each *type* of exclusion (permanent, fixed-term, internal) there were during each time period
Thank you in advance; I'll look forward to your response.
Yours faithfully,

Good afternoon
I just wanted to write and say I am not ignoring your request for
exclusion information, it is just since lockdown began I am the only one
in the office at the moment, and it has been incredibly busy and the
exclusion file for 2019/20 was corrupt so I am having to look back through
individual files, so I do apologise for the delay.
I will get the information to you as soon as I can.
Many thanks for your understanding.
Kind Regards
