DATA PROTECTION LAW

On May 25th 2018 a new data privacy law was introduced called GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation).

This affected schools and businesses across the UK.

We have not changed the ways we use personal information but we have changed the way we go about collecting it and storing it. 

This section of the website will give you the information you need about GDPR.
