Data Protection

Information on pupils, parents and guardians is stored on a secure computer system and may be used for teaching, registration, assessment and other administrative purposes. The information is protected by data protection laws, including the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018, and can only be shared or disclosed in accordance with those laws. To find out more about how your personal information is used, please consult the Council’s general Privacy Policy, here: https://www.renfrewshire.gov.uk/article/2201/Privacy-policy

Pupils attending any type of school have a right of access to their own information by virtue of the Data Protection Act 2018. This is known as the right of subject access. When a child cannot act for themselves or the child gives permission, parents will be able to access this information on their behalf. The Pupils’ Educational Records (Scotland) Regulations 2003 give parents and carers a specific right of access to their child’s educational records. You can find out how to make a Subject Access Request or a request for Educational Records, by visiting the Council’s Data Protection page, here: https://www.renfrewshire.gov.uk/article/2059/Data-protection

For specific data protection queries, please contact the school directly.
