Yr 6 Data To Secondary Schools

Please click on the picture for the full letter with reply slip.

Dear Parents/Guardians of Year 6,

With the end of the year fast approaching, we will soon be sending your child’s details onto their secondary schools. The data we currently hold for the children includes:

• Pupil and Parent basic details including dates of birth and contact details
• Attendance
• Attainment information
• Previous school reports
• Medical information (including historic)
• Details of special educational needs 

All information will be transferred to your child’s secondary school for their start in September, the form has been designed to enable secondary schools to collect the essential information from primary schools to develop a smooth, effective transition process for students and highlight where additional transition support is required.
Every parent is entitled to see a copy of the form that has been filled in for their child and these will be available on request from the secondary school.
Parents can opt out of the transfer of data between schools however we would like to remind parents that most data items (attendance, exclusions, end of key stage results, pupil and parent details and details of any child protection issues) are sent via their electronic records as part of our legal responsibility to provide details to the new school and cannot be opted out of.
If you have any queries, please do not hesitate to the school. Please complete and return the slip below by Wednesday 20th June.
Please note, this letter has already been sent to pupils as a paper copy.
Yours sincerely,
 
Miss Digweed
