DATA PROTECTION ACT

The school holds information on pupils in order to support their teaching and learning, to monitor and report on their progress, to provide appropriate pastoral care, and to assess how well the school as awhole is doing. This information includes contact details, national curriculum assessment results, attendance information, characteristics such as ethnic group, special educational needs and any relevant medical information. The school processes information on pupils in order to run the education system and in doing so has to comply with the Data Protection Act 1998.

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

In order to administer the National curriculum tests we are required to pass on some of this data to the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority (QCA) which is responsible for the National Curriculum and associated assessment arrangements.

The QCA uses information about pupils to administer the national curriculum assessments portfolio throughout Key Stages 1 to 3. This includes both assessments required by statute and those that are optional. The results of these are passed on to DCSF to compile statistics on trends and patterns in levels of achievement. The QCA uses the information to evaluate the effectiveness of the national curriculum and the associated assessment arrangements, and to ensure that these are continually improved.

Pupils, as data subjects, have certain rights under the Data Protection Act, including a general right of access to personal data held on them, with parents exercising this right on their behalf if they are too young to do so themselves. If you wish to access the personal data held about your child, please contact the relevant organisation in writing.

In order to fulfil their responsibilities under the Act the QCA may, before responding to this request, seek proof of the requestor's identity and any further information required to locate the personal data requested. This is a formal procedure which is started in the first instance by contacting the school.

Dear Parents,

Please can all children wear their full PE kit to school on Thursday 23 June.

The whole school will be finalising our Sports Day races at Cricklefields for a 1pm start (weather dependent), even if your child is not racing, as they will need to be in the winning team photograph.

We look forward to finding out the house winners for Sports Day 2011.

Thank you for your cooperation.

King have increased their lead this year with the races completed today (Monday).

The remainder of the larger children races will take place back at Cricklefields later this week (Thursday).

Expect the results to be announced end of this week / beginning of next.
