Introduction
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018 (DPA18) form the legal framework for protecting personal data.
We will comply with the data protection principles set out in the GDPR. These say that the personal data we hold about you must be:

- Relevant to the purposes we have told you about and limited only to those purposes.
- Accurate and kept up to date.
- Kept in a form which permits individuals to be identified only as long as necessary for the purposes we have told you about.
- Kept securely.

- To support pupil learning;
- To monitor and report on pupil progress;
- To provide appropriate pastoral care;
- To assess the quality of our services;
- To comply with our legal obligations.
How else we may use personal data
Whilst the majority of pupil personal data you provide us is mandatory, some of it is provided to us on a voluntary basis. In order to comply with Data Protection legislation, we will inform you whether you are required to provide certain pupil information to us or if you have a choice in this.
Change of purpose
We will only use personal data for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. If we need to use the personal data for an unrelated or new purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so
Keeping personal data safe and secure
We hold pupil data for 75 years if related to safeguarding casework; non-safeguarding pupil casework is held for 25 years. We operate controlled access to this information on a “need to know” only basis which is reviewed quarterly.

- Schools that the pupils attend after leaving us;
- The Department for Education;
- Other parts of the Directorate Children and Young People;
- Health or Safeguarding agencies to comply with our regulatory and legal responsibilities.We do not share information about our pupils with anyone without consent unless the law and our policies allow us to do so.We share pupil’s data with the Department for Education, (DfE), on a statutory basis. This data sharing underpins educational attainment policy and monitoring. 10.

Your Rights
Under data protection legislation, parents and pupils have the right to request access to information about them that we hold. To make a request for your personal information, or be given access to your child’s education record contact the school office in the first instance and mark your request FAO data protection admin.
- Correction of your personal data. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold to be corrected.
- Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have exercised your right to object to processing.
- Object to processing of your personal data where there is something about your situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground.
- Request the restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of personal data about you, for example if you want us to establish its accuracy or the reason for processing it.
There are some exceptions to the rights referred to above. Details of such restrictions will be provided to you if relevant.
- Right to withdraw consent – In the limited circumstances where you have provided your consent to the collection, processing and transfer of your personal data for a specific purpose, you have the right to withdraw your consent for that specific processing at any time.
You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we are allowed under the law to charge a reasonable fee if your request for access is clearly unfounded or excessive. Alternatively, we can refuse to comply with the request in such circumstances.
To comply with your request, we sometimes need to ask for specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access the personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is another appropriate security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it.
