Under the UK General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR), Abercarn Primary School is the data controller of the personal information you provide to us. This means that the school determines the purposes for which, and the manner in which, any personal data relating to pupils and their families is to be processed.
We collect and use pupil information under section 6(1)(e) of the UK GDPR, which states ‘Processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller’.
The school needs to collect and use certain types of personal information in order for it to provide education and other associated functions. Pupil data is therefore essential for the school’s operational use.
