Record Retention Schedule
This record retention schedule is a template for use in schools. As a template, it is a blunt instrument to guide schools in considering their data retention practices. In some instances (e.g. pupil disciplinary records), schools will be required to tease out their specific requirements at a local level. CPSMA advisors are available to assist with this process by contacting 01-6292462.
