We require parents to renew consent for various activities and processes related to the daily life of the school and its curriculum.  In light of GDPR legislation, it is even more important that you read this letter thoroughly, return the attached consent form and ensure that you make contact regarding any questions that you have.

As part of our core function as an educational establishment and under the directive of both the DfE and Archdiocese of Birmingham we are required to collect, store and process personal data relating to our pupils.  No information is ever processed outside of this remit nor transferred to third parties, except those for which we are legally bound to.

The attached form contains a list of purposes for which we request consent to process data/information related to your child.  These are not part of our statutory duties and therefore we require your consent for us to process data in this way.  Previously we have asked parents to complete the attached form annually; from now on we will gather your consents and hold them on file for the duration of your child’s education at All Souls’. As has always been the case, you retain the right to withdraw or grant consent at any point should you wish.

Safeguarding is our absolute priority and so we only ask for consent for things that we believe enhance children’s experiences at All Souls and their educational development.  We would like to reassure you that the processing of personal information, whether part of our statutory duties or not, is done so in a strictly confidential, safe and secure way.

Should you have any questions around the processing of personal information, don’t hesitate to see myself or Mr Cooke.

Thank you for your continued support,

Mrs Quinn
