Bonkers

I once had 2 children in my mixed age class called Tom Jones. So they became Tom.5 and Tom 6.... a phrase coined by their peers not me. But not as random as Harry2!

That's ridiculous.

Having said that, our training mentioned something like only a set number of fields would be allowed else it's a potential reportable issue.

One of my colleagues joked that:
First name
Last name
Class / year
Target grade
Any grades in their book

Equals every exercise book in school a GDPR problem so does that mean we shouldn't mark books.

Our trainer said books weren't a problem. .

Surely just Harry C.

My DD has kids in her class called Josh J and Josh P etc.

What a load of rubbish. GDPR is there to protect sensitive information. Names on exercise books are not sensitive information.

I think the assumption is that the grades in the book are sensitive.

Or that the book may identify the school the pupil goes to.

I dunno, it all seems a bit like overkill but there doesn’t seem to be official guidance for schools on this.
