We keep personal information about pupils while they are attending our service, events and rehearsals. We will also keep it beyond their attendance for up to one year so that we can provide a suitable service if they return within the year (pupils often take a break for a term or a year for example if they have other commitments), and so that we can contact parents with any follow up information about events or examinations.
