The following question asks about parental levels of education from the point of view of the child who will be participating in The Scholars Programme. (This includes natural parents, adoptive parents, stepparents or guardians who have brought up the child).

The questions below relate to consent for processing and sharing your child’s ethnicity data, which is a special category of data.

You are under no obligation to provide this information and your child can still participate in The Scholar's Programme if you chose not to.
