We need to hold personal information about your child on our computer system and in paper records to help us with their educational needs. The Headteacher is responsible for their accuracy and safe-keeping.
Please help to keep your child’s records up to date by informing us of any change of circumstances or contact details.
School staff have access to your child’s records to enable them to do their jobs. From time to time information may be shared with others involved in your child’s care, if it is necessary. Anyone with access to your child’s records is properly trained in confidentiality issues and is governed by a legal duty to keep their details secure, accurate and up to date. All information about your child is held securely and appropriate safeguards are in place to prevent accidental loss.
In some circumstances we may be required by law to release your child’s details to statutory or other official bodies. In other circumstances you may be required to give written consent before information is released.
Please ask at the school’s office if you would like further details. An appointment will be required.
