St. Michael’s Church of England First SchoolPRIVACY NOTICE – Data Protection Act 1998 |
We, St. Michael’s C of E First School are a data controller for the purposes of the Data Protection Act. We collect and hold personal information relating to our pupils and may also receive information about them from their previous school, local authority and/or the Department for Education (DfE). We use this personal data to:
- Support our pupil’s learning;
- Monitor and report on their progress;
- Provide appropriate pastoral care, and
- Assess the quality of our services.
This information will include their contact details, national curriculum assessment results, attendance information, any exclusion information, where they go after they leave us and personal characteristics such as their ethnic group, any special educational needs they may have as well as relevant medical information.
We will not give information about our pupils to anyone without your consent unless the law and our policies allow us to do so.
If you want to see a copy of the information we hold about your son/daughter, please contact Mr Tim Harnett – Headteacher.
We are required, by law, to pass some information about our pupils to the Department forEducation (DfE). This information will, in turn, then be made available for use by the LA.
DfE may also share pupil level personal data that we supply to them, with third parties. This will only take place where legislation allowsit to do so and it is in compliance with the Data Protection Act 1998.
Decisions on whether DfE releases this personal data to third parties are subject to a robust approval process and are based on a detailed assessment of who is requesting the data, the purpose for which it is required, the level and sensitivity of data requested and the arrangements in place to store and handle the data. To be granted access to pupil level data, requestors must comply with strict terms and conditions covering the confidentiality and handling of data, security arrangements and retention and use of the data.
