Transparency is a key principle guiding our data protection practices. By providing clear and comprehensive information, we aim to build trust and confidence in our data handling procedures.

To support our educational, administrative, and safeguarding obligations, we need to collect and hold personal information about our pupils, parents and carers, staff, governors, and visitors in both electronic and paper formats.

The Headteacher is responsible for the overall accuracy and safe-keeping of these records. Please help us keep all records up to date by informing us of any changes in circumstances.
