Privacy Notice - Data Protection Act 1998
We Miltoncross School (soon to be Miltoncross Academy) are a 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 and personal characteristics such as your ethnic group, any special educational needs and relevant medical information. If you are enrolling for post 14 qualifications we will be provided with your unique learner number (ULN) by the Learning Records Service and may also obtain from them details of any 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 allow us to.
We are required by law to pass some information about you to the Local Authority and the Department for Education (DfE).
The Local Authority transfers some of the information we pass to them into the Portsmouth Children’s Hub which is shared by partners in the Portsmouth Children’s Trust. Details of the Children’s Trust can be found at this link. http://www.portsmouthchildrenstrust.org/
If you wish to opt out of this arrangement please send a written request to the Local Authority using the Information Services postal address or email address given below.
Once you are aged 13 or over, we are required by law to pass on certain information to the provider of youth support services in your area. This is the local authority support service for young people aged 13 to 19 in England. We must provide the address of you and your parents (and your date of birth) and any further information relevant to the support services' role.
However, until you are aged 16 or older, your parent(s) can ask that no information beyond your name, address and date of birth (and their name and address) be passed on to the youth services provider. This right transfers to you on your 16th birthday. Please inform Mr Laggan if this is what you or your parents wish.
For more information about young peoples’ services, please go to the Directgov Young People page at www.direct.gov.uk/en/YoungPeople/index.htm or the LA website http://www.iyssportsmouth.info/.
If you want to see a copy of the information about you that we hold and/or share, please contact Mr Laggan.
