General data Protection Regulation
In order to comply with the General Data Protection Regulation, the school has updated its privacy notice which gives information about how we collect, hold and share pupil information. Some data is for statutory purposes for the Department for Education (DfE) and Lancashire County Council. Other data is collected to ensure that our school provision remains good. We do not share information about our pupils with anyone without consent unless the law and our policies allow us to do so. We continue to ensure that we use and share pupil data responsibly for the following reasons:
- to support pupil learning
- to monitor and report on pupil progress
- to provide appropriate care
- to assess the quality of our services
- to comply with the law regarding data sharing

Consent for photographs
Occasionally, we may take photographs of the children at our school. We may use these images in our school’s prospectus or in other printed publications that we produce, as well as on our website or school media accounts such as Twitter and Instagram for EYFS. We will not use personal details or full names of any child in a photographic image or video on our website or online. Historic photographs will remain on our school website and social media feeds.
As parents/guardians, photographs taken of your own child (for example in assemblies) which include other pupils should only be for personal and family use and should not be published online.
We will request consent at the start of each academic year, if any changes are needed, please inform school at the earliest possible convenience.
