GDPR
From May 2018, the rules around data protection changed. The ‘General Data Protection Regulation’ (GDPR) changed how we can use personal data relating to you and your child and keep it safe. The point of this is to make sure sensitive or private information about you and your child stays safe. Whilst it is similar to the current Data Protection Act in many ways, there are a few differences, so we have made a few changes at school in order to ensure we remain compliant.
