GDPR and School reports

[nicholab]

Under GDPR can students stop parents accessing their school report or does the report have to be available to students as well? We currently user Firefly with reports published to parents.

No, they can't. There's a separate law governing Parents access to their child's education record and the right to access that is explicitly granted till age 18.

 

Students can of course also demand to see the report, but presumably they are at least shown a copy anyway.

Won’t stop the little darlings trying though

I'm looking forward to the first "right to erasure" request from a student who thinks it means we'll forget they've just earned a detention!

This doesn't apply to exam results, as far as I know

The educational records law? It does - it's one of the examples the DofE specifically gives actually.
