Academies and academy trusts should follow good practice in relation to record keeping and retention.
This guidance sets out:
- an introduction to record keeping, including what records should be kept by an academy or trust, how long to retain records and how records should be disposed
- what should happen to records when an academy or trust closes
- how to access pupil and staff records if they are transferred to a local authority
