Bishop Cotton Boys’ School respects the privacy of every family, student, alumnus and visitor who engages with us. This policy explains what information we collect through this website and how it is handled.
Information we collect
We only collect the information you choose to give us — principally through the Admission Enquiry and Contact forms. This may include the parent or guardian’s name, the applicant’s name, an email address, a telephone number, the intended year of entry, and any message you write. Our web host may also record standard technical information (such as IP address and browser type) in routine server logs.
How we use it
Information submitted through the forms is used solely to respond to your enquiry — to share the prospectus, guide you through admissions, or answer a question — and for the School’s own administration. We do not use it for unrelated marketing, and we do not sell or rent personal information to anyone.
Sharing
Personal information is seen only by the members of staff who need it to assist you (for example, the admissions and School offices). We may rely on trusted service providers — such as our web host and email provider — to operate the site and deliver our replies; they are permitted to use the information only to provide those services. We may also disclose information where required to do so by law.
Cookies
This website uses only the minimal cookies required for it to function and, where enabled, to help us understand how the site is used so we can improve it. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings; the site remains usable without them.
Data security & retention
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect the information you share against loss, misuse and unauthorised access. Enquiry details are retained only for as long as is necessary to serve the purpose for which they were given, and for the School’s legitimate record-keeping, after which they are securely removed.
Children’s privacy
As a school, we understand the particular importance of protecting children’s information. Enquiries and applications are expected to be made by a parent or legal guardian, and any information relating to a child is treated with corresponding care.
Your rights
You may ask us what personal information we hold about you, request that it be corrected, or ask that it be deleted, subject to any records the School is obliged to keep. To make such a request, please contact the School office.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practice or in the law. The current version will always be available on this page.
