Data and GDPR
You and Your Child's data on Arbor
We collect data about your child at the beginning of their journey with us at Bosmere Community Primary School. This data includes their name, address and date of birth. We also ask you for your contact details so we can keep you up to date about what is happening at school or to contact you in an emergency. All of this data can be seen on your child's Arbor account - in their 'profile page'.
Once a term we will ask you to look at the information we have and ensure that all the details are correct - it is your responsibility to make changes to the data directly (on Arbor) or to advise us via the front office.
Should the family situation change - parental separation, family medical condition - or if there is a complicated situation at home, you may wish to share that with us confidentially. Enabling us to offer appropriate support to your child.

Data Protection and Privacy Guidance
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) will apply in the UK from 25th May 2018. It is a piece of EU-wide legislation which will determine how people’s personal data is processed and kept safe.
It gives stronger rights for individuals regarding their own data, including:

At Bosmere Community Primary School we have produced a Privacy Notice for pupils, parents and staff. These notices advise the individual:
