Data Protection Law in the UK changes on 25th May 2018. It’s now called the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
Under data protection law, individuals have a right to be informed about how the academy uses any personal data that we hold about them. We comply with this right by providing ‘privacy notices’ (sometimes called ‘fair processing notices’) to individuals where we are processing their personal data. This privacy notice explains how we collect, store and use personal data about pupils. Central RSA Academies Trust (the Trust) is the ‘data controller’ for the purposes of data protection law. The Trust has delegated responsibility to the Principal/Head of School in each academy for ensuring compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Please see our Policies page to review our Data Protection Policy.
