• Characteristics (such as ethnicity, language, and free school meal eligibility)
• Safeguarding information (such as court orders and professional involvement)
• Special educational needs (including the needs and ranking)
• Medical and administration (such as doctor’s information, child health, dental health, allergies, medication and dietary requirements)
• Attendance (such as sessions attended, number of absences, absence reasons and any previous schools attended)
• Assessment and attainment (such as key stage 1 and phonics results, and any other relevant results)

Keeping hold of information

Information is securely maintained in accordance with best practice guidelines from the Information Record Management Society’s toolkit for schools (academies). Retention periods and disposal best practice is also set out in this document which can be viewed here.

Please remember to keep us up to date with any changes to your personal information, for example address or contact details. This can be done by contacting the School Office.

 

Use of photography and film

When your child starts with Primley Wood Primary, we ask you to complete a pack of forms.

One of our forms covers whether children can be included in School photographs or short films, These are used in a variety of ways:

• On the website and/or social media sites (i.e. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram)
• In press releases (i.e. to Yorkshire Post etc.)
• To advertise our School and open days (i.e. banners, leaflets, adverts in magazines or online etc.)
• To showcase achievements (i.e. sport tournament winners – these can often be on the tournament organiser’s own social media or websites)
• As part of our class or School newsletters that are sent home in book bags and uploaded to our websites
• In classrooms on displays and in workbooks
• On pupil record management systems that are used by all schools to hold personal details such as parent/carer contact details, allergies, address etc.

An up-to-date list is kept of all children who cannot be photographed/filmed and class teachers kept informed. From time to time, parents/carers and/or children change their minds and ask if their child can be included. This is absolutely fine, as it is to alternatively ask that they are no longer included. Please let the School Office know.

As a rule, we do not include names where photographs/films are used. On the odd occasion where we would like to (for example to celebrate an achievement in the School newsletter), we will first ask for permission.
