We may work with other institutions such as your previous or new school, school nurses or doctors, school photographers, local authorities, social services, police (where there are concerns with your safety), education authorities, SEN co-ordinators, the school’s business partners and professional advisors.

HOW THE SCHOOL USES YOUR INFORMATION

We will use the information you and your parents give us as is necessary to provide you with the information and services that your parents request from us (to look after you, teach you and to deal with any queries they may have). We are also required by law to take a register, keep a personal file about you, keep a record of your behaviour and provide a written report on your progress.

We also use your information to promote the objects and interest of our schools, ensuring the most efficient management of the school and ensuring that the school’s legal obligations are adhered to; and use your photograph as part of a manual ID system.

Help from third parties. We rely on software applications and other technology provided by other people to handle your information. These include virtual learning environments (including the setting of tasks and homework), revision tools, parents evening booking systems, text and email messaging communications, assessments of your progress and co-ordination of school trips. The companies we use to deliver these applications are carefully chosen by us to ensure that your information is kept secure.

SENSITIVE PERSONAL DATA

When we hold details about your health and wellbeing, this information is called “sensitive personal data” which means we treat this information even more carefully. We will need to hold sensitive personal data about you (a) for carrying out our obligations in the field of social security or social protection law, (b) for identifying medical problems or provision of health care or (c) to protect your vital interests. To achieve this, we may also use software applications and other technology.

If you do, we will use this to help run the school (e.g. if your religion means that you have certain dietary requirements) and to monitor equal opportunities.

TRANSFER OF PERSONAL INFORMATION OUTSIDE THE COUNTRY

Sometimes your information will need to be transferred to and stored outside the UAE. We try to limit this, but it may be necessary where, e.g. one of our suppliers stores your information outside the UAE. We take all steps reasonably and legally necessary to ensure that your information is safe.
