As an organisation we collect and process data about individuals. We explain what information we collect, and why in our Privacy Notices.
 

Any individual, or person with parental responsibility, or young person with sufficient capacity to make a request is entitled to ask what information is held. Copies of the information shall also be made available on request. A form to complete is available.
 

To ensure that requests are dealt with in an effective and timely manner we may seek to clarify the terms of a request.

To collate and manage requests we have designated Chris Marsh to co-ordinate all requests. Please ensure that requests are made on the form to office@elkesley.notts.sch.uk.
 

Evidence of their identity, on the basis of the information set out and the signature on the identity must be cross-checked to that on the application form. Discretion about employees and persons known to the school may be applicable but if ID evidence is not required an explanation must be provided by school staff and signed and dated accordingly.
