Music Service Teachers / Tutors, Ensemble Group Leaders and Music Service Managers. Schools, the Department for Education (DfE), Arts Council England, in the form of statistical analysis.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
We hold pupil and parent data in line with the ‘Retention Guidelines for Schools’ provided by the ‘Information and Records Management Society’. As we provide a service to pupils from Early Years through to the end of Secondary Education, and many individuals opt in and out of lessons several times during their education, we follow the retention timescales for the Secondary phase.
The retention period is therefore the date of birth of the pupil + 25 years.
Parent data and records are retained in line with the timescales for the corresponding pupil data.
