Pupils: Personal Records
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether the data collected by schools on pupils' country of birth and nationality to be included in the National Pupil Database are to be made accessible to (a) the Home Office, (b) media bodies, (c) citizens and (d) other third parties.
- Answer
-
Data on nationality and country of birth have not and will not be shared with the Home Office or any other parties. It is solely for the Department for Education’s research.
Anonymised research and statistics based on the broad trends shown in the new data may be published in some form if it helps us to improve children’s education. Under no circumstances will any data identifying an individual ever be released.
To address any uncertainties regarding how this information should be collected or used, an information note has been placed in the House Libraries.
