BBC reports:
A school has apologised for a data breach in which personal information about students was sent to their teenage classmates.
Sixth-form pupils at Wymondham College, Norfolk, were mistakenly sent a link to a spreadsheet intended for teachers.
It included data on whether pupils had special educational needs, whether they were “looked-after” children and if they received free school meals.
The school has referred itself to the Information Commissioner’s Office.
