GDPR
In light of the changes to Data Protection with the introduction of the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) on the 25th May 2018, we have made some changes to the way we collect, use and share your data.
The GDPR is an updated set of rules designed to harmonise data privacy laws across Europe and gives greater protection and rights to individuals.

Under the GDPR, there is an enhancement of individuals rights:
It is important to note, where organisations have a legitimate purpose for the collection, use, sharing and storage of data these will therefore overrule individual’s rights and processing can continue.
Subject access requests (SAR)
If you wish to contact the School to obtain information that we hold, please complete the form available on the website or retrieve a paper copy in house. Proof of ID will need to be provided in order for the request to be completed and a response will be issued within one month from the date the request is received.
Data Protection Officer (DPO)
The data protection officer (DPO) is responsible for overseeing the implementation of this policy, monitoring our compliance with data protection law, and developing related policies and guidelines where applicable.
They will provide an annual report of their activities directly to the governing body and, where relevant, report their advice and recommendations on school data protection issues.
The DPO is also the first point of contact for individuals whose data the school processes, and for the ICO.
Full details of the DPO’s responsibilities are set out in their job description. Our DPO is Mr. Joe Lee and is contactable via e mail on DPO@ark.me.uk. Or Joe.Lee@ark.me.uk
