GDPR
Data Retention Policies
General Data Protection Regulation (2018) replaces the Data Protection Act (1998).
The DPA 2018 sets out the framework for data protection law in the UK. It updates and replaces the Data Protection Act 1998, and came into effect on 25 May 2018. It was amended on 01 January 2021 by regulations under the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018, to reflect the UK’s status outside the EU.
Bishopswood Schools Federation is required to keep and process certain information about its staff members and pupils in accordance with its legal obligations under the GDPR.
The school may, from time to time, be required to share personal information about its staff and pupils, with other organisations, mainly the Local Authority, other schools and educational bodies and potentially childrens services.
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 school is responsible for their accuracy and safe-keeping.
Please help to keep your child's records up to date by informing us of any changes in circumstances.
If you have any questions about GDPR and how it affects you, please contact the Data Protection Officer, Mrs Morgan, in the school office using details on the this page.
