St. Martin's School processes personal information about pupils and their families to support pupil learning and monitor attainment, to provide pastoral care, and to keep children safe. We also process personal information to meet the statutory duties placed upon us by Welsh Government, to administer optional school trips and activities, and to deliver the school catering service.

The school takes its responsibilities under data protection law very seriously, and will store and use all personal information securely, disposing of it when no longer required. Personal information may be shared securely for clear purposes with other organisations such as Caerphilly County Borough Council, Welsh Government, or other external partners (e.g. other Local Authorities, Health Boards, and Special Educational Needs Tribunal Wales) that provide a service to pupils/families.

You have a number of rights in relation to your personal information, including the right of access to information and the right of complaint.

Please see below our documents relating to Data Protection. All of our documents have been updated in line with GDPR requirements.

We have appointed a data protection officer (DPO) to oversee compliance with data protection and this privacy notice. If you have any questions about how we handle your personal information which cannot be resolved by the business manager, Kate Phillips, then you can contact the DPO on the details below: -
