We collect and use student information under Section 537A of the Education Act 1996 and Article 6 and 9 of the GDPR.
Collecting student information
Whilst the majority of student information you provide to us is mandatory, some of it is provided to us on a voluntary basis. In order to comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), we will inform you whether you are required to provide certain student information to us or if you have a choice in this.
Storing student data
We store your data on secure computers and in paper records which are secured physically. The school is legally required to store personal data about you after you have left school. To meet these obligations we hold student data until the student is 25 years of age. So, for most students leaving this school when they are 11 years of age, we will hold data about them for a further fourteen years before securely destroying it.
