FREEDOM OF INFORMATION REQUEST – 254/19

Dear Sir/Madam

Your request for information has now been considered and the information requested is provided below.

Request / Response:

Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, please supply the following:

1. A list of all secondary, middle and upper schools in Rutland and whether they were oversubscribed or not-oversubscribed on national offer day 2019 (1st March). Please include each school’s Unique Reference Number (URN), DFE code, and/or address/postcode to allow us to identify each relevant school without ambiguity.

We define a school to be oversubscribed if, and only if, at least one on-time applicant was refused a place and the applicant did not receive an offer from any higher preference school.

If there were no refusals to on-time applicants - even if the school was unable to accept one or more late applications or admitted over its published admission number - then we do not consider this school to be oversubscribed.

If you use a different definition of oversubscription, then please make this clear in the response.
