Dear Chris
Thank you for your freedom of information request received on Thursday
26th July.
I can confirm the College holds the information you have requested.
For clarity you have sent two requests; one to Shrewsbury Sixth Form
College and one to Shrewsbury College of Arts and Technology. These two
Colleges merged in August 2016, so I will send a single response to your
request for Shrewsbury Colleges Group.
