Data Protection

What are the General Data Protection Regulations?
 
Communication through our School Intranet
At Braywood we have our own school's intranet facilities through eschools which acts as a platform for safe communications, payment systems and a personal storage platform for all parents. Children can also share comments through this platform and the teachers share homework using this tool. 
 
The Internet at school is carefully monitored to ensure children are protected from inappropriate material. There is  general agreement that all parents at this school can take photographs or short video of performances, special events or competitions but these photographs should not be posted on social media unless permission is specifically given. If you are not in agreement with this policy please speak to the office staff.

"Data plays a key part within a modern educational system. It provides the opportunity to effectively monitor the progress of leaders. It allows evaluation within evidenced-based practice, and it provides the opportunity for huge efficiencies in how a school life operates."
