Privacy Notice – for Pupils

Our school is a data Controller for the purpose of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This means we collect information from you and may receive information about you.  We use this data to:

• Keep you safe and healthy
• Support your teaching and learning
• Monitor, report and share your progress and achievements
• Assess how well we are doing
• To comply with the law regarding sharing your data

The information we collect and hold includes your:

• personal details (such as name, unique pupil number, address, curriculum assessment and results)
• personal characteristics (such as ethnic group, nationality, special needs, free school meal allowance and relevant medical information)
• attendance information (such as sessions attended, number of absences and reasons)
• behaviour information and any SEND information

We collect and use pupil information under section 6(1)(e) ‘Processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller’.

We are also required by law to pass some information to the Local Authority, the Department for Education, safeguarding authorities and whichever school you (the pupil) attends after leaving us. But we will not give information about you to anyone outside the school without your consent unless the law, or our procedures, allow us to.

Most of the information you provide to us is required, but some of it is provided on a voluntary basis. In order to comply with the General Data Protection Regulation, we will tell you if you are required to provide certain information to us or if you have a choice in this.

We hold information about pupils until you leave the school. Any SEND information will be held until you reach the age of 25.

If you want to see a copy of the information about you that we hold and/or share, please contact Mrs S. Bennion, Headteacher.
