Under data protection law, pupils have the right to request access to information about them that we hold, and in some cases, parents can make the request on the pupil’s behalf. Parents also have the right to access their child’s educational record.
 

 
You also have the right to:
  • be informed about the collection and use of your personal data.
  • rectification, ie to have inaccurate personal data rectified, or completed if it is incomplete.
  • erasure, often known as the ‘right to be forgotten’; however this does not apply where, amongst other things, processing is necessary to comply with a legal obligation.

Much of the data about pupils in England goes on to be held in the National Pupil Database (NPD).
The NPD is owned and managed by the Department for Education and contains information about pupils in schools in England. It provides invaluable evidence on educational performance to inform independent research, as well as studies commissioned by the Department.
It is held in electronic format for statistical purposes. This information is securely collected from a range of sources including schools, local authorities and awarding bodies.
To find out more about the NPD, go to https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/national-pupil-database-user-guide-and-supporting-information

  • local authorities
  • researchers
  • organisations connected with promoting the education or wellbeing of children in England
  • other government departments and agencies
  • organisations fighting or identifying crime
For more information about the Department’s NPD data sharing process, please visit:
https://www.gov.uk/data-protection-how-we-collect-and-share-research-data
 
 
Organisations fighting or identifying crime may use their legal powers to contact DfE to request access to individual level information relevant to detecting that crime. Whilst numbers fluctuate slightly over time, DfE typically supplies data on around 600 pupils per year to the Home Office and roughly 1 per year to the Police.
