The College will process such personal data: (i) in order to comply with any court order, request from or referral to an appropriate authority or legal, regulatory or good practice requirement; (ii) to perform the College’s obligations under the Parent Contract and for the purposes set out in the Parent Contract; and (iii) where otherwise reasonably necessary for the College’s legitimate purposes. The College places privacy notices on its website giving further information about its use of personal data and the rights of data subjects. Right to object (Photographs & Film): The Parents should notify the College’s Director of Communications in writing if they do not wish photographic, film or other images of the Pupil to appear in any of the College’s promotional material (including its prospectus, website and any editorial and advertising in the media) or in communications with other pupils (the intranet), alumni (e.g. the College magazine), donors and feeder schools or to be shared with any other school, educational body or charity with whom the College carries on joint activities or educational programmes. The Parents should also inform the Pupil of their wishes in this regard. Transport: The Parents consent to the Pupil travelling by any form of public transport and/or in a motor vehicle driven by a responsible adult who is duly licensed and insured to drive a vehicle of that type. If the Pupil has a UK driving licence and drives to College, the Parents will take all reasonable steps to ensure that the Pupil complies with the guidelines issued by the College (available from the Upper School Office).

Insurance: The Parents are responsible for insurance of the Pupil’s personal property whilst at the College or on the way to and from College or participating in any College-organised activity away from the College. From time to time the College may arrange or suggest other insurance for pupils (e.g. personal accident insurance) but the College does not accept a contractual duty to do so. The Parents may obtain further information about insurance on application to the Fees Administrator. It is the Parents’ responsibility to arrange for a claim to be made if the Pupil is the insured person under the relevant insurance policy.

Force Majeure: (i) Subject to sub-paragraph (ii) below, neither the College nor the Parents will be liable if and for so long as they are unable fully or promptly to perform their obligations under the Parent Contract as a result of a Force Majeure Event provided they do everything they reasonably can to mitigate its effect. (ii) Sub-paragraph (i) shall not apply to the payment obligations of the parties to the Parent Contract. (Please see also paragraph 11.7 below.)

All new pupils complete the College’s health questionnaire. Pupil’s Health: The College may at any time require a medical opinion or certificate as to the Pupil’s general health. A pupil of sufficient age and maturity is entitled to insist on confidentiality.

Such information will be given and received on a confidential, ‘need-to-know’ basis. Emergency Medical Treatment: The Parents authorise the Pupil’s Head of School, the Master or a Deputy Master to consent (on behalf of the Parents) to the Pupil receiving emergency medical treatment, including blood transfusions (unless the Parents have notified the College that they object to blood transfusions), general anaesthetic and operations under the National Health Service or at a private hospital where recommended by an appropriately qualified person to be necessary for the Pupil’s welfare and if the Parents cannot be contacted in time. Emergency Contacts: The Parents shall provide the College with the contact details for two emergency contacts (both adults) in respect of the Pupil.
