Data Protection Act

All data/information held about students is protected under the terms of the Data Protection Act. The School actively encourages positive press coverage and from time to time invites the Press into School to take photographs of events. An “opt out” policy operates for any parents who DO NOT wish their child to appear in such coverage or photographs which appear in articles, the School prospectus or other printed publications that we produce as well as on project display boards at our School. Photographs or film footage of a visiting dignitary or high profile event may
be covered by the Press and images may appear in local or national newspapers, on televised news programmes or on the School website.

The School has a sophisticated CCTV system which records both picture and sound in a variety of places around the School including classrooms. Any data stored is subject to the above Act.
