Data Protection

AET Data protection Policy

As the school clearly handles and stores information about its pupils, we are legally obliged to protect that information. Under the Data Protection Act we must:

• only collect information that we need for a specific purpose;

• keep it secure;

• ensure it is relevant and up to date;

• only hold as much as we need, and only for as long as we need it; and

• allow the subject of the information to see it on request.

We must issue a Privacy Notice to inform you of our obligations under the Data Protection Act. This will be given to all new students (Year 7). All other students should have been given a copy previously.   This notice can be downloaded here

We must also inform you of the Agencies with which we share information. A page on this can be viewed on the Staffordshire Website

Images of Students

We want the new website to be full of photographs of students learning and participating in the many trips and activities we run. However we do understand that some parents do not wish their child's image to appear on the website, for a variety of reasons.
