The Department (DCSF) has absolutely no interest in the personal identity of individual pupils. The names of pupils are required for statistical purposes to enable the Department to link this information with other pupil information such as educational attainment. Other than for these purposes the Department will not make any use of pupil names. Pupil names will be held securely and separately from ethnicity data in a separate file accessed only by DCSF technical staff for linking purposes.
