GDPR and Data Protection

On May 25th 2018 a new Regulation came into force, the General Data Protection Regulation. The aim of the Regulation is to make personal information even more confidential than it already is, under the current Data Protection act. The Regulation affects all countries in the European Union, but it will remain in British Law following Brexit. In the United Kingdom the Information Commissioner’s Office will check that everyone is complying with the law.

The school has worked hard to ensure that we comply with the requirements of the Regulation, because we take your privacy seriously. We will include aspects of the GDPR in the IT and computing curriculum so that the children learn how to protect their privacy and online reputation in our highly technological world.

The school staff have received training so that they are familiar with the requirements of the GDPR. Please see attached privacy notices.

We have reviewed the security of all our IT systems and the storage of our paper records. If any companies or partner agencies have access to any school data then we  require them to confirm that they also comply with the GDPR.

We use a system to record school’s use of data. We also regularly assess how we collect and protect the most sensitive data to ensure security levels are as high as can be reasonably expected.

If you have any questions please contact Sam Dymond, Business Manager in the school office.
