We, Blessed George Napier Catholic School, are the 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.  We hold this personal data and use it to:

This information includes your contact details, national curriculum assessment results, attendance information characteristics such as ethnic group, special educational needs and any relevant medical information.  If you are enrolling for Post-14 qualifications we will be provided with your unique learner number 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 permit it.
