Sometimes is important for us to share some of this information with others. This could include the Police, the NHS, Social Care and exam boards.

We must also share this information with the Local Authority where you live (for example Bristol)

We may also share your information with other schools and colleges you may wish to attend.

Where does the school keep this data?

We keep all of your data very safely within the school and stored in a number of ways. This could be in files under lock and key or on a computer with strong security.

We check all our files often to make sure we are only holding the documents and information we need. Once you leave the school, we may be required to keep some information about you.
