Dear FOI (Freedom of Information),
I look forward to receiving your response when you have gathered the information. It's odd that this information isn't easily available at your authority, as it is at the vast majority of other authorities in Wales. Indeed the majority make this information available as part of their admissions information.
Yours sincerely,
Eliane Wigzell
