We, Silverdale School, are the Data Controller for the purposes of the Data Protection Act.  We collect information from you, and may receive information about you from your previous school and the Learning Records Service.  We hold this personal data and use it to:

·         support your teaching and learning,

·         monitor and report on your progress,

·         provide appropriate pastoral care, and

·         assess how well your school is doing.

 This information includes your contact details, national curriculum assessment results, attendance information, characteristics such as ethnic group, special educational needs and any relevant medical information.  If you are enrolling for post 14 qualifications we will be provided with your unique learner number by learning or qualifications you have undertaken.

 We will not give information about you to anyone outside the school without your consent unless the law and our rules permit it.

We are required by law to pass some of your information to the Local Authority (LA), and the Department for Education(DfE).
