The new General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) came into force from May 2018. On this page you will find related policies to this very important matter. We have a Data Protection Officer
The Freedom of Information Act 2000 gives individuals the right to access official information from public bodies. Under the Act, any person has a legal right to ask for access to information held by the school. They are entitled to be told whether the school holds the information, and to receive a copy, subject to certain exemptions. While the Act assumes openness, it recognises that certain information is sensitive. There are exemptions to protect this information.
