School - pupil records

School records are often a source of invaluable help for local historical and genealogical research. However, keeping all such records indefinitely would clearly cause schools a major storage problem. In any event, access to individual pupil records is protected by the Data Protection Act and therefore not all school records are available to the general public.

To help schools decide what to keep, how long to keep it for and who can access what information under the Freedom of Information Act, guidance has been provided by both the Department for Children, Schools and Families and North Yorkshire County Council.
