Factual background to the appeal
Factual background to the appeal
This appeal arises against the background of a legal claim for harassment brought by the headteacher of the School against the parents of two former pupils. A substantial amount of the legal costs of that claim were funded by the School. A large amount of information about the harassment claim and its funding was in the public domain when the request in issue in this appeal was made.
