As noted above, in some circumstances the Council may share your data with other organisations.
Accurate and up-to-date data allows us to:
· plan and deliver better policies for the benefit of all pupils,
· plan and deliver better policies for the benefit of specific groups of pupils,
· better understand some of the factors which influence pupil attainment and achievement,
· share good practice,
· target resources better.
The Scottish Government collects information about school pupils. We now work together to transfer data electronically through the ScotXed programme. ScotXed aims to support schools and Local Authorities by supporting the collection, processing and dissemination of statistical information required for planning, management and monitoring of Scottish education services.
In order to make the best decisions about how to improve our education service, Scottish Government, education authorities and other partners such as the SQA and Skills Development Scotland need accurate, up-to-date data about our pupils. We are keen to help all our pupils do well in all aspects of school life and achieve better examination results.
A subset of this information is passed to Scottish Government for research and national statistics publications. Education data within Scottish Government is managed effectively by secure systems and is exploited as a valuable corporate resource, subject to confidentiality restraints. As part of its data policy, Scottish Government will not publish or make publicly available any information that allows individual pupils to be identified, nor will data be used by Scottish Government to take any actions in respect of individuals. Data is held securely and no information on individual pupils can or would be published by Scottish Government.
The individual data collected by Scottish Government is used for statistical and research purposes only. We hope that the explanations contained on the ScotXed website will help you understand the importance of providing the information.
Fuller details of the uses of pupil data can be found on the ScotXed website
