At Clipstone Brook, we comply with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) which ensures a balance between an individual’s rights to privacy and the lawful processing of personal data undertaken by organisations in the course of their business. It aims to protect the rights of individuals about whom data is obtained, stored, processed or supplied and requires that organisations take appropriate security measures against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure or destruction of personal data.

We are a data controller for the purposes of the Data Protection Act. We collect information from you and may receive information about you from your previous school and the Learning Records Service.  We hold this personal data and use it to:  

• Support your teaching and learning;  
• Monitor and report on your progress;  
• Provide appropriate pastoral care, and   
• Assess how well your school is doing.    

This information includes your contact details, national curriculum assessment results, attendance information and personal characteristics such as your ethnic group, any special educational needs and relevant medical information. 

We  will  not  give  information  about  you  to  anyone  outside  the  school  without  your  consent unless the  law  and  our  rules  allow  us  to.  

We are required by law to pass some information about you to the Local Authority and the Department for Education (DfE).  

If you want to see a copy of the information about you that we hold and/or share, please contact the school office in the first instance.  

You have the right to make a complaint at any time to the Information Commissioner’s Office, the UK supervisory authority for data protection issues at https://ico.org.uk/concerns
