General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR)

With the introduction of the General Data Protection Regulations on 25 May 2018, the school has reviewed their data protection arrangements to ensure they comply with the new regulations.

How does Data Protection legislation protect personal data?

Data protection legislation places obligations on organisations which must be obeyed when obtaining and using information about you. Data Protection legislation also provides “individuals” (data subjects) with certain rights which data controllers and data processors must respect. See www.ico.org.uk for more information.

    • A copy of your bank, building society or credit card statement in the Data Subject's name for the last quarter

    Will you be charged for information provided?
