Our response:

Please see accompanying document, our ref: FOI_25-179 Appendix A.

On this occasion it is not possible to provide all of the requested information. In line with your rights under section 1(1)(a) of the Act to be informed whether information is held, we confirm that the University does not hold any recorded information for widening participation or contextual applicants. The University do not categorise applicants under a heading of contextual/widening participation, therefore we do not hold the requested information for this part of questions 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6, nor do we hold any of the requested information for question 5 entirely.
