Dear Mr Vyas

Freedom of Information Act 2000

I can confirm that the information requested is held by London Borough of Redbridge. I have detailed below the information that is being released to you:

Please can you provide me with the information with regards to the last number that was on the Waiting List that started in Year 7 in September 2017 in Valentines High School and Seven Kings High School.

We do not hold information about the number of applicants on waiting lists for any school in September 2017.

The last place offered at Valentines High School on 1 March 2017 was to an applicant living in the school’s catchment area, at 1.33 miles from the school.

The last place offered at on 1 March 2017 was to an applicant living in the school’s catchment area, at 0.925 miles from the school.

We do not hold information on the last place offered from a waiting list at any school between 1 March and September 2017. However, these applicants could live closer to the school than the last distance offered on 1 March, because late applicants would have joined the list based on their positions under the oversubscription criteria.

Both schools have waiting list for current Year 7 which include late applicants who live in the school’s catchment area, closer to the school than the last place offered in March 2017.

Please quote the reference number 2203834 in any future communications.

If you are dissatisfied with the outcome or the handling of your request, you have the right to ask for an internal review. Internal review requests should be submitted within 20 working days of the date of receipt of the response to your original email or letter and should be addressed to: Information Officer, 10th Floor (front), Lynton House, High Road, Ilford, IG1 1NN or sent to [email protected]

If you are still dissatisfied with the Council’s response after the internal review you have a right of appeal to the Information Commissioner at:

The Information Commissioner's Office Wycliffe House Water Lane Wilmslow Cheshire SK9 5AF. Telephone: 01625 545 700 Website: www.ico.gov.uk

I will now close your request as of this date.

Yours sincerely

Sue Garner Head of Admissions, Awards and Complaints
