We use consent as our basis to process our students’ personal data in certain circumstances. This form details the activities in which we use consent.

Student’s Biometric Information 

We use our student’s biometric data for cashless catering purposes. Having a cashless school is a security measure for both the school and its students.

Catering payments are controlled by your child’s fingerprint.

We would also like to know if they are fluent in any language other than English.

Peripatetic Music Lessons

We are pleased to inform you that we are able to offer the opportunity for your child to learn a musical instrument.  We have worked with the Solihull Music Service for many years to supply instrumental lessons to many students. These lessons take place during the school day to suit the visiting instrumental teacher.  Days and times to be confirmed in September. The choice of instruments on offer are voice, guitar, strings, woodwind, brass, drums, keyboard and piano.

If your child wishes to take up this opportunity, please complete our online form by following the link below.  Once your online enquiry has been received, a letter will be sent to you with further information regarding costs and the terms and conditions.
 
If interested, please complete the form by Friday 4th July.
SEN Student Parent/Carer Survey 

At the start of the academic year, we create Pupil Passports for students with SEN – special educational needs. These passports are shared with teaching staff to raise awareness of those needs and to suggest strategies which can support the students. Information included in the passports is taken from our own literacy screening programme, carried out with all our new Year 7 students, and also information from our feeder primary schools.

It is essential that we hold copies of any professional assessment reports issued. If your child has a specific diagnosis, such as Dyslexia, DCD – Dyspraxia, Autism or ADHD, we request that you send a copy of the report electronically to:  senco@alderbrook.solihull.sch.uk or a hard copy to the school, marked for attention of the SENCo. 

Should you wish to provide the Student Development Department with any additional information, we will be very grateful if you can complete the survey below. It will support us to ensure that all staff are aware of your child’s needs.
