GDPR and Data Protection

At Wavertree CE School, we take the privacy, security, and lawful handling of personal data very seriously. We are fully committed to protecting the rights and privacy of our pupils, parents, staff, and visitors in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

Our Commitment to Data Privacy

  • Lawful and Transparent Processing: We only collect and hold personal data where it is legally required or necessary for the effective running of our school, the delivery of education, and the safety and safeguarding of our pupils. We are always transparent about what data we gather and why.

  • Security and Confidentiality: We implement robust technical and organisational security measures to protect all personal information from unauthorised access, accidental loss, disclosure, or alteration.

  • Individual Rights: Under UK GDPR, individuals (and parents/carers on behalf of their children) have clear rights regarding their personal data. These include the right to access the information we hold, request corrections, or, in certain circumstances, request the restriction or deletion of data.

  • Staff Accountability: All staff and governors handling personal data receive appropriate data protection training and understand their legal duty to keep information secure and confidential.

Our Privacy Notices and Policies

To ensure complete transparency, we publish clear privacy notices detailing how we handle data for:

  • Pupils and Parents/Carers: Explaining how we use learning, attendance, assessment, and pastoral records.

  • School Workforce: Outlining how we manage employment and professional records.

  • Website Visitors: Outlining how we handle digital interactions and cookies.

Trust is built on transparency. We are dedicated to safeguarding your personal information with the highest standards of care and compliance.

If you have any questions about how we handle your data, wish to make a subject access request, or want to speak with our Data Protection Officer (we use E2E Technologies), please contact the school office.
