Why do we use your personal data?

SSP keeps personal data about children to whom we provide services and we use this data to:

• Support children and monitor their progress;
• Provide appropriate support and pastoral care; and
• Monitor the quality of our provision of services to young people

What types of personal data do we process?

We will process following categories of personal data

• Name
• home address
• parent/guardian contact details
• health information for emergencies
• feedback and evaluation data
• transaction amount
• transaction date

Who has access to your personal data?

Where required SSP may share data with third parties, but only where it is necessary to:

• comply with a legal obligation;
• for the protection or detection of crime; or to
• allow a partner organisation to act on behalf of SSP

We keep data locked and secure. Access internally is only given to staff and tutors who are need access for safeguarding and delivery.

What is the legal ground to process your personal data?

The processing of your personal data is necessary for SSP to fulfil the service of managing your enrolment which is a contract.

How long will we save your data?

We will keep children’s personal data associated with feedback and evaluation for as long as it is useful for developing and monitoring the quality of our provision. The data gathered is anonymised after the end of the programme or activity. We will not connect your feedback with anything that would identify you as an individual.

We will keep your data for as long as you are an active customer. We define active as engaging with us in the last five years. This can be through making a booking, an enquiry or opening a marketing email. After this time, we will anonymise your data and retain only what we need for monitoring of how courses have performed and bookkeeping purposes.

Our friendly expert staff are always happy to discuss your needs and our courses in more detail to help you with your decision. Please call us on 01736 797180

Tutors have special techniques for transporting oil paintings and the school has plastic folders available in our shop for £3.50 or do bring a portfolio.

For international students we are happy to arrange transportation of your work back home.

Absolutely nothing! All materials and aprons are provided although some people do like to bring their own set of brushes.

Courses allow an hour’s break for lunch and there are numerous places nearby or you are welcome to bring a packed lunch into the studio.

Most of our courses start at 10am and end at 4.30pm on the first day. Subsequent days we start at 9.30am ending at 4pm.

Weekend Courses run 10am – 4pm on the first day but the final day starts at 9.30 and ends at 3.30 with a short lunch break to enable people to get home that evening.

The School is a very friendly and welcoming place for all ages and experience. Our drop-in life classes and August half-day workshops are ideal for those wanting to have a go for the first time. Most of our longer courses are also fine for novices.

If any of the courses do need a bit of experience we flag this up in the brochure and on the website.

We will hold a provisional reservation for 24 hours if you give us a call whilst you find accommodation. Otherwise please book online or by telephone 01736 797180.

You can reserve a place with a £100 deposit; balance is due 12 weeks before course start date.

The nearest long stay public car parks are the Island and Barnoon Long Stay Car Park, both a 5 minute walk away. In the peak summer months it may be easier to park at Trenwith Car Park by the leisure centre and walk down into town. If you don’t fancy the walk up the hill at the end of the day there is a shuttle bus which runs from outside the cinema.

Public Transport: If you are coming from further afield the main train line runs into St Erth which is a 15 min taxi ride away or you can take the St Ives Bay Line which runs approx. every 30 minutes. The School is a 10 minute walk from St Ives station.

Driving: M5 will take you to Exeter where we recommend that you take the A30 across Bodmin Moor and into Cornwall. After passing Hayle, leave the A30 at St Erth roundabout for St Ives. Turn right at the second roundabout. This road will take you through Lelant and Carbis Bay into St Ives.

St Ives has a huge selection of hotels, guest houses and self catering accommodation to choose from. Please browse the art holidays St Ives section on our website and give us a call if you would like any help.
