GDPR

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and The Data Protection Act 2018 (DPA) is the law that protects personal privacy and upholds individual’s rights. It applies to anyone who handles or has access to people’s personal data.

The Archbishop's School will efficiently collect and use information about people with whom it works and the students it provides an education to. These may include members of the public, current, past and prospective employees, clients and customers, and suppliers.

In addition, it may be required by law to collect and use information in order to comply with the requirements of central government.

Our Data Protection, GDPR, FOI, Image Use and CCTV Policy is one of our key documents, underpinning everything we do. To achieve our vision of enabling all to flourish and fulfil their potential, we strive to create a safe and nurturing environment for all within our community. We act with integrity and courage, never shying away from difficult decisions or courses of action. We act with wisdom and compassion, working collectively to ensure all those within the care of our school community feel safe, supported and respected.

Under data protection law, individuals have a right to be informed about how the school 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 students.
