Our school holds a lot of personal information, about pupils, parents, teachers etc; and the new General Data Protection Regulation is the law that says how we can hold, use and store it. We have always been very careful with the personal data we hold and will continue to have the highest standards under the new laws.

We have a new, school wide Privacy Notice which tells you what personal information we collect and hold, what we do with it, who we share it with and how long we keep it for; as well as other important information.

We’ve updated our Data Protection Policy and you can read the new policy on our website.

The new law gives people more rights about how their personal information is handled. You can find out more about this on the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) website. If you want to use one of your new rights, please contact the school office and one of our team will be in touch with you.

Our Data Protection Officer is Nick Holden at Nexus Global. He is supported by a specialist team of schools Data Protection Advisers. They can be contacted via the school Finance and Business Manager, Laura Manwaring.

Please rest assured that our school knows how important your and your child’s information is, and takes all appropriate measures to make sure it is kept safe and secure, processed lawfully and fairly, and only shared with those people allowed by law.
