FOI Request - Primary One Deferral

Request 101002656706

I would like to know how many applications the council received for primary  one deferral from 2020-2021 for children who had already turned 5 by the school start date in Aug 2020 and therefore would not have had an automatic legal right to defer their primary one start.

Response 15.01.21

Due to the low numbers involved, disclosure could risk identifying individual pupils. This information is therefore exempt under section 38(1)(b) of the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002, personal information.
