Privacy Notices

This privacy notice describes how we collect and use personal information about pupils, in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), section 537A of the Education Act 1996 and section 83 of the Children Act 1989.

Following Brexit, Regulation (EU) 2016/679, General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is retained EU law and known as UK GDPR. The UK GDPR sits alongside an amended version of the Data Protection Act 2018 that relate to general personal data processing, powers of the Information Commissioner and sanctions and enforcement. The GDPR as it continues to apply in the EU is known as EU GDPR.

General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

The European-wide General Data Protection Regulation is now UK law and will apply even when we have left the European Union. The reason for it is that we all need protection from data theft, identity theft and being targetted unscrupulously in our new data-driven world.

The law is designed to protect everyone; children, parents/carers and staff members at The Minster Nursery & Infant School. One of the main demands of the new law is to ensure transparency about what data we collect, what we do with your data, who it is shared with and how long we keep records for.
