Data Protection

As a school, we need to keep information about your child on our computer system and on some paper based documents and records. It is important that we keep accurate and up to date information so please inform us of any changes in circumstances or changes to contact details as soon as possible. 

School staff need to have access to your child’s records to enable them to do their jobs and to address educational needs and it is sometimes necessary to share these with others in a professional capacity. Anyone with access to your child’s records has a legal duty to keep the details secure, accurate and up to date. All information about your child is held securely with appropriate safeguards in place to prevent accidental loss. We may, in some circumstances, be required by law to release your child’s details to statutory or other official bodies, for example in the event of a court order being presented.

The document below outlines the data that we collect and why we collect it.
