Almost certainly this is personal information which is therefore FoI exempt, because covered by DPA.
However if we got into a culture of people demanding to see their notes then suing over differences between instructors' professional judgement and student's uninformed opinion then maybe the notes would end up having to go the way of job references? - nothing of any interest is ever written down, and all the real business is done verbally.
