GDPR and Data Protection
Changes to Data Protection Law - GDPR
You may be aware that from May, the rules around data protection are changing. The 'General Data Protection Regulation' (GDPR) will change how we can use your personal data and keep it safe, and will also strengthen your rights over your own data.
The point of this is to make sure sensitive or private information about yourselves and your children stays safe. Whilst it is similar to the current Data Protection Act in many ways, there are a few differences, so we need to make a few changes at the school in order to ensure we remain compliant.
We have a new Data Protection Policy and have updated our Privacy Notices for parents and carers. This notice explains how we collect and use personal data about your child. Both documents are available below.
If you have any questions about how the GDPR affects you, or how our school is preparing, you can contact the school office
