Dear Mrs Steffen
Thank you for getting in touch and for your request for "a weekly
breakdown of suspensions and exclusions at Steiner Academy Bristol for
academic year September 2019 - July 2019".
This email is to confirm that we have received your request and will begin
processing it immediately.
Following the Freedom of Information (FOI) Act we have 20 school working
days to either:
* Provide you with the information you have requested
Or
* If we are unable to provide this information. To inform you as to why
we can't provide this data following exemptions present in the FOI
act.
At this time I see no reason as to why we can't share this information so
please expect to receive a response with the information you requested by

If you have any questions at this time, please let me know.
Yours sincerely

Dear Mrs Steffen
Please see attached a breakdown of all Fixed Period Exclusions and
suspensions. Within this period we had no Permanent Exclusions.
This data was extracted according to Year Group and not age. I've left a
guide on the side of the report to show what year group applies to which
age. However, I will be happy to reproduce the spreadsheet with specific
ages if you require, please let me know.
If I can do anything else to help please contact me via the email
[1][email address].
Many thanks

Dear Data Officer,
Thank you for this response. Yes please, I would like you to provide the data by age as well.
Yours sincerely,
Mrs S Steffen
Dear Data Officer,
It has come to my attention that some of the data for fixed period exclusions at Steiner Academy Bristol has been deleted from the children's school records.
Please could you indicate whether the data you have provided includes the deleted fixed term exclusions or not?
If not, please provide the full, complete data without deletions.
Presumably you have kept a separate record of fixed period exclusions which is not linked to the children's school records, and as I am not asking for individual data on specific children you should still be able to provide the full data even if it has been deleted from children's records.
Yours sincerely,
Mrs S Steffen

Dear Mrs Steffen
I am emailing in response to your request for:
"I am writing to request an internal review of Avanti Garden School's
handling of my FOI request 'Suspensions and exclusions'.
I have requested clarification of this request and it has not been
provided. This response is now overdue. Please supply a response."
I understand that data was shared with you within the legal timeframe,
however you were waiting for clarification for age. I apologise for the
delay in getting this across to you. I also note there was another email
attached referring to:
"It has come to my attention that some of the data for fixed period
exclusions at Steiner Academy Bristol has been deleted from the
children's school records.
Please could you indicate whether the data you have provided includes
the deleted fixed term exclusions or not?
If not, please provide the full, complete data without deletions.
Presumably you have kept a separate record of fixed period exclusions
which is not linked to the children's school records, and as I am not
asking for individual data on specific children you should still be able
to provide the full data even if it has been deleted from children's
records."
Unfortunately, this is the first time I have seen this request, and I will
need to review before getting back to you. However, I will aim to do this
as soon as possible.
We apologise for the delay in responding to this request. Our transfer to
a new school, combined with an extremely busy period for data requests
stretching my already limited capacity as Data Officer has restricted my
ability to adequately respond to this request. However, I will aim to get
this information back to you and will pass this on to my line manager for
review.
Please let me know if there is anything else I can do to help.
Many thanks
