Data Protection and Privacy

We take the protection of personal information very seriously. As a school, we are committed to handling information about our pupils, families and staff responsibly, securely and in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018. We only collect and use personal information where there is a clear and lawful reason to do so, and we take appropriate steps to keep information accurate, secure and confidential. Our Privacy Notice explains what information we collect, why we collect it, how it is used and shared, how long it is retained, and the rights individuals have in relation to their personal information. We regularly review our systems and procedures to ensure that data protection remains an important part of our safeguarding, governance and everyday practice.

Please see our Privacy Notice for further information about how we collect, use and protect personal information.
