PLEASE READ THIS NEXT SECTION CAREFULLY Although there will be circumstances when it is appropriate to seek parental consent, children’s data protection and privacy rights are their own. The law considers that children of average maturity will, from the age of around 12, have sufficient awareness of their own privacy to make certain choices relating to their personal data themselves. Parents’ views remain important, but sometimes the law will require us to give more weight to the decision the child makes about his or her own privacy.

The law recognises this but also requires that, as far as possible, we set out clearly what these uses will be. Please also see our 'Privacy Notice' which is available on the School's website.
