Thank you for your request for information under the Official Information Act 1982, received by
the Maidstone Intermediate School Board on 30th April 2026, regarding student behaviour matters,
including incidents involving weapons, and records concerning stand-downs, suspensions, and
expulsions at our school in 2026.
The Maidstone Intermediate School Board has considered your request under the Official
Information Act 1982 and refuse this request under section 9(2)(a) of the Official
Information Act 1982, to protect the privacy of natural persons. This is required as it is the opinion of
the Board that even anonymised data would not meaningfully protect the privacy of our affected
students.
You have the right to seek a review of this decision by the Ombudsman under section 28(3) of the
Official Information Act 1982.
Ngā mihi
Evelyn Moody
Presiding Member on behalf of Maidstone Intermediate School Board
