Data Protection Policy

The Data Protection Policy at West House School sets out how personal data of pupils, parents, staff, and third parties must be handled in compliance with UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. It emphasises principles of lawful, fair, secure, and transparent processing, staff responsibilities for accuracy and security, and clear procedures for breach reporting and individual rights. The Bursar, as Data Protection Lead, oversees compliance, ensuring staff and contractors follow proper procedures and safeguarding data as part of the school’s culture and legal obligations.
