General Data Protection Regulation
A notice about how and why we store personal data
You may have heard about the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) which came into force across all sectors on 25th May 2018. If not, you can find out more at https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-the-general-data-protection-regulation-gdpr/
The GDPR applies to ‘personal data’ meaning any information relating to an identifiable person who can be directly or indirectly identified. So, as you know, we hold lots of data about staff, governors, children and families and this can include names, dates of birth, addresses, email addresses and more.
As such, as what’s defined as a ‘data controller’, we are required to be careful about the way we store, share and keep safe this personal data and you are entitled to give us consent to do so.
For more information about the policies please go the Symphony Learning Trust Website https://www.symphonylearningtrust.co.uk/our-policies/ and the Privacy Notices are detailed below.
Parents/Pupils Data Consent
Glen Hills has legal obligations and reasons for sharing data. Like any organisation which handles personal data, our Multi-Academy Trust is the 'Data Controller' and our school is defined as a 'Data Processor'. As such, we are registered with teh ICO (Information Commissioner's Office) and we comply with the Data Protection Act 1998.
Please see the table below for information on how data is shared at Glen Hills in order for us to run an effective and efficient school and in the best interests of our pupils.
Should you wish for any further information, or have any queries on this matter, please contact the school office.
