GDPR/Data Protection
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) came into force on 31 May 2018 and set out the principles for how we process personal data and keep it safe.
We have reviewed our systems in line with the GDPR and our updated Privacy Notice details our arrangements for pupil data. Our admission forms have also been amended to reflect the changes.
Individuals have a right to make a "subject access request" to gain access to personal information we hold about them. The procedure for making a subject access request is detailed in our GDPR/Data Protection Policy, which can be found below.

School Improvement Plan
The School Improvement Plan sets out the school’s strategy and development planning for the next three years, with some further projected planning. It also sets out specific key tasks for the academic year. The Plan is developed through discussion by, and consultation with the staff at the Rowans and is informed by School Self-evaluation, which may lead to amendment of the plan throughout the year. The plan will be reviewed regularly.
