​Schools have a duty to be registered, as Data Controllers, with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) detailing the information held and its use. These details are then available on the ICO’s website. Schools also have a duty to issue a Privacy Notice to all pupils/parents, this summarises the information held on pupils, why it is held and the other parties to whom it may be passed on.
