In an effort to streamline data collection, the Department of Education and skills have set up a Primary Online Database. As a School, we are asked, to populate this database with the required data from Parents by the beginning of March. Today, we have uploaded the information letter from the DES and will shortly be sending home a data record sheet on each pupil in the School. As soon as you return the data sheets to us and we have entered the data on the required fields on the database, we will of course shred and securely dispose of the sheets.
