Data Protection
Welcome to the Yateley School Data Protection page. We are committed to protecting the privacy and security of the personal information we hold about our students, parents/carers, staff, and governors.
Privacy and Trust
Yateley School collects and processes personal data to fulfil our statutory duties, provide a world-class education, and ensure the pastoral care and safeguarding of our school community. For the purposes of UK Data Protection Law and the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), Yateley School is the Data Controller.
Our Data Protection Officer
We have appointed a Data Protection Officer to oversee compliance with data protection laws. If you have any questions about how we handle your personal information, please contact our DPO.
Privacy Notices
Our Privacy Notices explain in detail what information we collect, why we collect it, the lawful basis for doing so, who we share it with, and how long we keep it.
Youth Support Services
Once our students reach the age of 13, we are legally required to pass certain student information to Hampshire County Council and/or providers of youth support services, as they have responsibilities in relation to the education or training of 13-19 year olds. Parents, or pupils once they reach age 16, can request that only their name, address, and date of birth are passed to these services. Please contact the main office if you wish to opt-out of additional data sharing.
Biometrics and CCTV
We use Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) across the Yateley School site to ensure the safety and security of our students, staff, and premises, and for the prevention of crime. For more details, please view our CCTV Policy.
We use a biometric system for our school catering. Under the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012, we require explicit, written parental consent to process biometric data. An alternative PIN system is always available. Please view our Biometric Policy for more information.
