Year 7 pupil ethnicity by school, January 2015, 2016, 2025 and 2026

Department for Education

DfE supplied Year 7 pupil counts by school and recorded ethnic group for January 2015, 2016, 2025 and 2026. The accompanying letter explains the population, dual registrations and unclassified ethnicity. The dataset is being checked for a separate map release.

Requested 2 Oct 2026Latest authority reply 29 Oct 2026
Read the response review

What the record establishes

  • The spreadsheet contains the requested joint breakdown of Year 7 pupils by school and ethnic group, with school URN, school name, local-authority fields and admissions policy for all four requested January censuses.
  • The workbook contains 144,587 school-year-ethnicity records across 19 recorded ethnic groups, including Unclassified. There are 3,323 distinct schools in the January 2026 extract. These are counts of records and schools in the supplied file, not a new published national statistic.
  • DfE states that the figures cover Year 7 pupils in state-funded secondary schools. For pupils registered at two schools, the main registration is included and the subsidiary registration excluded to avoid double counting.
  • DfE says Unclassified combines Information not obtained and Refused. Its letter states that no rounding or suppression has been applied to the figures.
  • The 2 and 5 October acknowledgements established receipt and the response timetable. The substantive spreadsheet and explanatory letter were received on 29 October, before the recorded 30 October target.
Limits of this record

The school-level dataset still requires integration checks before a Year 7 map is released, including the treatment of absent ethnicity rows, admissions categories and school identifiers across years. The current school maps remain unchanged. These are school census snapshots, not a fixed cohort of pupils or a census of area residents. Recorded ethnicity does not establish nationality, immigration status or the causes of change.

Post-arrival road transport: current contracts and monthly payments

Home Office

The Home Office says CMAC operates its standalone transport service until 31 October 2026, followed by IMMS Operator Services. It withholds detailed contract information under section 43(2), refers to published notices under section 21, and says the requested journey-specific spending breakdown is not held. The identity of the CMAC arrangement relative to the earlier court record remains unresolved.

Requested 25 Sep 2026Latest authority reply 23 Oct 2026
Read the response review

What the record establishes

  • The request was submitted on 25 September 2026 and acknowledged on 29 September. A six-page substantive response is dated 23 October.
  • The Home Office confirms that it holds the requested contract information but withholds more detailed information under section 43(2), concerning commercial interests. Annex C gives its public-interest reasoning.
  • The letter says its CMAC Group UK Limited contract is a standalone transport arrangement, unrelated to the contract referred to in the cited Mitie litigation. It states that CMAC operates until 31 October 2026, after which IMMS Operator Services begins.
  • That statement does not reconcile the standalone arrangement with the earlier judgment's description. We retain both attributed records and do not treat the later date as proof of an extension to the same contract.
  • The Home Office uses section 21 for information it says is reasonably accessible in published contract notices. It identifies the Asylum Accommodation and Support Contract providers as responsible for transport from asylum claim to first accommodation, referring to CRH, Serco and Mears contracts.
  • For April to August 2026, the Home Office says it does not hold the spending breakdown requested for transport from disembarkation to initial processing or from asylum claim to first accommodation. No monthly supplier-payment table is supplied.
  • The letter offers an independent internal review within two months. No internal-review outcome is recorded here.
Limits of this record

This is a mixed response: explanation and public-source referrals, a refusal of detailed contract information, and a not-held answer for the specified spending breakdown. It does not establish that no transport payments or invoices exist. The letter's reported service transition is distinct from the IMMS contract start date in the published award. It does not identify the operator of a particular coach or establish misconduct. The relationship between the two CMAC descriptions still needs clarification.

Post-arrival road transport: standby commissioning and payment rules

Home Office

On 23 October, the Home Office extended its response timetable while considering the public-interest test under FOIA section 43 (commercial interests) and section 31 (law enforcement). It now aims to provide a full response by 20 November 2026. The requested standby commissioning, approval, audit and payment provisions remain awaited.

Requested 25 Sep 2026Latest authority reply 23 Oct 2026
Read the response review

What the record establishes

  • The request was submitted on 25 September 2026.
  • On 29 September the Home Office confirmed assignment to a caseworker and a target response date of 23 October 2026.
  • The acknowledgement contains no contracts, payment figures or standby rules. The complete request text remains available in the Channel transport contracts case file.
  • The 23 October interim response cites section 43 (commercial interests) and section 31 (law enforcement) and extends the timetable to consider the balance of the public interest.
  • The Home Office estimates a full response by 20 November 2026. The attachment reproduces the original request as Annex A, but supplies no requested standby commissioning, approval, audit or payment records and makes no final disclosure decision.
Limits of this record

This is an interim extension notice, not a final refusal or disclosure of the requested records. It establishes neither actual standby expenditure nor misconduct. The letter does not identify the specific subsections relied upon or explain the particular harm that disclosure could cause. The revised date is the Home Office's stated estimate; the original response target was 23 October 2026.

RASASF 2025/26 monitoring template and guidance

Ministry of Justice

The Ministry of Justice confirms a common RASASF monitoring template for 2025/26 and says it supplied the workbook with guidance. Its letter states that recipients must complete monitoring returns twice yearly. The letter has been reviewed; the accompanying workbook is currently unavailable for inspection, so its individual fields have not been verified.

Requested 9 Sep 2026Latest authority reply 7 Oct 2026
Read the response review

What the record establishes

  • The request was submitted on 9 September 2026 for the blank 2025/26 RASASF monitoring template and accompanying guidance.
  • In its letter dated 7 October, the Ministry of Justice confirms that it holds the requested information and says the RASASF 2025-26 end-year monitoring workbook was attached.
  • The letter says the template was issued to all RASASF recipients for completion at the end of financial year 2025/26. It states that completing financial and monitoring returns twice yearly is a condition of the Grant Funding Agreement.
  • According to the letter, guidance appears on a GUIDANCE tab and at the top of each worksheet. We have reviewed the two-page letter, but the correspondence service currently withholds access to the accompanying workbook while it reviews a problem.
  • The anonymised letter is published below. No workbook fields, definitions or values are presented as independently verified.
Limits of this record

This response establishes the Ministry's account of its monitoring requirements and a common template. It does not supply reviewed national service-use totals, establish that every recipient completed the return accurately, or verify the inaccessible workbook's contents. The workbook has not been republished. The letter offers an internal review within 40 working days of its date.

SSAIDP March 2026 evaluation: final report and publication status

College of Policing Limited

On 5 October, the College of Policing extended its response timetable to consider the public-interest test under section 31, concerning law enforcement. It said it aimed to respond within a further 20 working days, without stating a calendar date. The requested report and publication-status records remain awaited.

Requested 9 Sep 2026Latest authority reply 5 Oct 2026
Read the response review

What the record establishes

  • The request was submitted on 9 September 2026 and acknowledged on 10 September.
  • In an email dated 5 October, the College of Policing extended its response timetable to consider applying the public-interest test under section 31, concerning law enforcement.
  • The College said it would aim to respond as soon as possible and within a further 20 working days. The email did not state a calendar response date.
  • This email-only procedural notice does not provide the requested final evaluation report, approval records or publication status, and makes no final refusal decision.
Limits of this record

This is a public-interest-test extension, not a final refusal or evidence of the report's contents. The original normal response date was 7 October; it is no longer presented as a current target. No calendar date has been inferred from the authority's stated further 20 working days. This record publishes a labelled summary of the email, not a document copy.

St Paul's Cathedral and fabric: GLA briefings, correspondence and support

Greater London Authority

The GLA has now answered all three records categories. It reports no briefings or correspondence and no GLA funding or other support for the partnership, and says its officials were not involved.

Requested 10 Sep 2026Latest authority reply 5 Oct 2026
Read the response review

What the record establishes

  • On 23 September, the 24h London team stated that neither the Mayor nor the GLA was a partner in the St Paul's and fabric initiative. That reply did not address each requested records category.
  • On 2 October, The Cartulary asked for an item-by-item held or not-held answer within the original scope. An automatic acknowledgement was received that day.
  • The response dated 5 October says no briefings, meeting notes or decision records concerning the partnership or opening performance have been produced. It states that the Mayor, Deputy Mayors and GLA officers were not involved.
  • For the requested correspondence between the named GLA offices or teams and St Paul's Cathedral, fabric or Cameron Leslie, the GLA says there has been no correspondence between the parties mentioned.
  • The GLA says it has not provided funding, sponsorship, promotional support or other support for the partnership. No documents were disclosed in these categories.
  • The substantive response was received on 5 October, before the original recorded response target of 8 October 2026.
Limits of this record

This records the GLA's response to the requested categories for information created or received between 1 January and 10 September 2026. It does not determine what records are held by other organisations or address later activity. The response does not support a claim that the Mayor financed, directed or approved this partnership. Information not held is not evidence of wrongdoing.

St Paul's Cathedral and fabric: police licensing consultation and representations

City of London Police

City of London Police reports holding no information within scope. Its response says the opening concert does not require a separate licence application and cites the exemption for entertainment at a place of public religious worship.

Requested 15 Sep 2026Latest authority reply 2 Oct 2026
Read the response review

What the record establishes

  • The response dated 2 October says City of London Police holds no information within the request's scope and had no involvement in the licensing matter described.
  • The Police says it is aware of the event scheduled for 29 October. It states that the event is covered by the venue's existing operation and premises licence and does not require a separate licence application.
  • The response also cites Schedule 1, Part 2, paragraph 9 of the Licensing Act 2003, concerning entertainment for a religious meeting or service, or at a place of public religious worship.
  • No licensing consultation documents, representations or conditions were disclosed. The Police says it maintains working relationships with the organisations and remains in contact as appropriate.
Limits of this record

This records the Police's response to a request for records created or received between 1 January and 15 September 2026. It is not an independent legal determination of every activity at the concert or later events. An information-not-held response does not establish a breach, an objection by the Police, or the absence of records held elsewhere.

Specialist sexual assault investigator training completions in 2025/26

West Midlands Police

West Midlands Police supplied separate counts for taught-course completion and full accreditation in 2025/26. The two counts cover different cohorts and cannot be used as a completion rate.

Requested 9 Sep 2026Latest authority reply 24 Sep 2026
Read the response review

What the record establishes

  • The 24 September response records 42 unique individuals completing the taught course between 1 April 2025 and 31 March 2026: 39 constables and 3 police staff. All completed the new SSAIDP 2024 programme.
  • Five people achieved accreditation after completing a portfolio in the same financial year. All five had completed their taught course before 1 April 2025.
  • The force says learners have time to complete their portfolio, so this usually occurs in a different financial year. Not all course attendees are required to complete a portfolio.
  • The substantive response was supplied in the email body. Its eight image attachments are email-signature graphics, not a separate response PDF.
Limits of this record

The 42 course completers and 5 newly accredited people are not a matched cohort. Five divided by 42 is not an accreditation, failure or attrition rate. These figures concern one force and one financial year, not the total trained workforce or national provision.

St Paul's Cathedral and fabric: fire-safety consultation for the 2026-2030 partnership

London Fire Brigade

The Brigade acknowledged the request on 17 September and assigned a case reference. Its event-specific fire-safety consultation, advice and inspection or audit conclusions remain awaited.

Requested 15 Sep 2026Latest authority reply 17 Sep 2026
Read the response review

What the record establishes

  • The request was submitted on 15 September and covers partnership-related records from 1 January to 15 September 2026.
  • It seeks non-sensitive advice, conclusions and recorded action status, including any relevant audience-capacity, seating or temporary-staging conclusions.
  • The 17 September acknowledgement confirms receipt on 15 September and assigns a case reference. It states a target of 13 October 2026, while warning that demand and staff absences may delay the reply.
  • No event-specific fire-safety information was supplied in the acknowledgement.
Limits of this record

Receipt does not establish that the Brigade has been consulted, that its approval is required, or that any fire-safety breach exists. Detailed layouts and operational emergency plans are excluded from the request. A workload warning is not a substantive answer or a confirmed extension of the response deadline.

CT-FOI-0015Information disclosed

St Paul's Cathedral and fabric: licensing basis and event oversight

City of London Corporation

The City has answered. It reported no applications submitted or in progress and no temporary event notices in 2026, while confirming discussion of a possible variation to extend the Cathedral’s licensed area.

Requested 10 Sep 2026Latest authority reply 16 Sep 2026
Read the response review

What the record establishes

  • In its 16 September reply, the City reported that no applications had been submitted or were in process. It said temporary event notices had been used for past events, including a fabric-produced Patti Smith concert in 2024, but none in 2026.
  • The Cathedral had contacted the City about a variation application that might be submitted to extend the scope of the licensed area. A Licensing Officer had visited and advised on submitting that application.
  • The City said there had been no referral to, or consideration by, its Safety Advisory Group. It explained that the group primarily advises on public-highway events and may not be aware of every event on private land.
  • The reply noted that a licence application would be considered by many of the same responsible authorities that contribute to the Safety Advisory Group.
Limits of this record

This is the position reported on 16 September 2026. A discussed application is not a submitted or granted application. The reply does not itself establish the licensing basis of the opening performance, whether a new permission is required, or that any breach has occurred. Absence of a Safety Advisory Group referral is not a finding of unlawful conduct.

St Paul's Cathedral and fabric: heritage advice and consultation

Historic England

Historic England holds no information within the request’s scope. In a further reply on 15 September, it recommended contacting the Church of England’s Cathedrals team for advice.

Requested 10 Sep 2026Latest authority reply 15 Sep 2026
Read the response review

What the record establishes

  • Historic England acknowledged the request on 11 September.
  • Its substantive reply dated 15 September was handled under the Environmental Information Regulations 2004.
  • It says it searched paper and electronic records and consulted relevant colleagues, but holds no information within scope, citing regulation 12(4)(a).
  • The scope was partnership-related consultation proposals, heritage advice and application or decision notices created or received from 1 January to 10 September 2026.
  • On 15 September, The Cartulary thanked the team and asked whether it could identify the appropriate holder or public register for cathedral-permissions records. This is an advice follow-up, not an internal-review request.
  • Later on 15 September, Historic England said it had consulted colleagues and recommended the Church of England’s Cathedrals team as the next contact. It supplied the department’s public contact page.
Limits of this record

This finding concerns the records held by Historic England within the stated scope. It does not establish that no records exist elsewhere, that permission was required, or that any permission or consultation duty was breached. The referral offers a route for further enquiry; it does not establish that the Cathedrals team holds particular records or has approved the proposed events.

CPS handling of rape cases – referrals, charging decisions and reasons, 2010–2025

Crown Prosecution Service

The CPS upheld its cost-limit refusal at internal review. A separate, narrower request later obtained quarterly rape-flagged data.

Requested 23 Mar 2026Latest authority reply 29 May 2026
Read the response review

What the record establishes

  • The original response said identifying rape cases at referral would require manual review because monitoring flags are added afterwards.
  • The 29 May review upheld section 12. The separately worded April request is recorded as CT-FOI-0003.
Limits of this record

The broad request and narrower rape-flagged measure are not interchangeable. The refusal is a statement about this request and extraction cost, not proof that all related data are absent.

Funding and provision of rape-crisis centres and victim-support services, 2010–2025

Ministry of Justice

Funding allocations were disclosed after the request was narrowed. Service-use and waiting-time figures were not supplied.

Requested 23 Mar 2026Latest authority reply 18 May 2026
Read the response review

What the record establishes

  • The initial request was refused on cost grounds. A revised funding-only request received a spreadsheet and explanatory letter on 18 May.
  • The letter distinguishes allocations from local spending. Some PCC grants cover domestic abuse and sexual violence together.
Limits of this record

The disclosed totals cannot be presented as sexual-violence spending alone. Core PCC funding is excluded. Yearly components reconcile to overall totals; the 2020/21 PCC area sum differs from its published total by £2,535.30. Charts preserve published totals.

Implementation of June 2025 National Audit recommendations on group-based child sexual exploitation

Home Office

The refined request received a policy-formulation refusal with a link to a public progress letter.

Requested 23 Mar 2026Latest authority reply 15 May 2026
Read the response review

What the record establishes

  • After an initial clarification request, the Home Office confirmed some recorded information was held.
  • The 15 May response withheld that material under section 35(1)(a) and included a public-interest explanation.
Limits of this record

CT-FOI-0003Information disclosed

CPC & Rape Victim Responsibility

Crown Prosecution Service

A quarterly rape-flagged case dataset was disclosed for the narrower request submitted on 20 April.

Requested 20 Apr 2026Latest authority reply 13 May 2026
Read the response review

What the record establishes

  • The request asks for referrals, charging decisions and time from first police submission to a charging decision, from January 2020 onwards.
  • The CPS confirmed it held information and supplied a dataset with caveats.
Limits of this record

Receipts count suspects; the charge-rate denominator is legal decisions. Timeliness includes police and CPS time. The 24 source quarters were extracted with their definitions; these are provisional management information, not official crime statistics.

CT-FOI-0004Review pending

Police-recorded rape and sexual-offence outcomes by police force, 2010–2025

Home Office

The Home Office combined four requests under this lead case. An internal review was acknowledged; no review outcome appears in the reviewed public thread.

Requested 23 Mar 2026Latest authority reply 24 Apr 2026
Read the response review

What the record establishes

  • The 21 April response relied on section 22 for information due for publication and signposted recorded-crime sources.
  • The requester asked for a clearer account of which information was held, published or exempt. The review acknowledgement gave a target of 22 May.
Limits of this record

The target date has passed, but the record reports the visible correspondence rather than making a legal finding. Linked threads must not be counted as three additional independent refusals.

Read the response review

What the record establishes

  • The letter reports 70,526 completions of the online first-responder modules and 4,184 completions across versions of SSAIDP.
