What is the GDPR?
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a new, Europe-wide law that replaces the Data Protection Act 1998 in the UK. It is part of the wider package of reform to the data protection landscape that includes the Data Protection Bill. Please see below details of the school pupil privacy notice and our GDPR policy. Our DPO is Mrs Meghna Tibrewal.

Right of access to personal data “subject access request”
You have the right to access the personal data that the school holds about you. It is helpful to make the request writing to the DATA LEAD in the school.
We take the security of personal data seriously so we may ask you for proof of identity to verify that you are entitled to the information requested.
Subject Access Requests Outside of Term Time.
A request for information may be received during or less than one month prior to a school holiday.
Where a request is made prior to a holiday period the School will seek to respond prior to that holiday commencing, however where this is not possible then the School will inform the requester that this is the case.
Requests for information received during extended holiday periods may not be able to be responded to within the one month response period. The School will in those circumstances send out an initial acknowledgement of the request as set out in Annex 1 of the Schools procedures, followed by a further acknowledgement as soon as possible following commencement of the next term setting out details of when a full response will be provided (being not more than one month of commencement of that term).
