> According to the DPA ruling, although the school secured parents' consent to monitor the students, the regulator did not feel that it was a legally adequate reason to collect such sensitive personal data.

It’s this kind of second-guessing which is extremely concerning about GDPR-type regulation.

Not that the information was not secure, or leaked, or mishandled, or consent wasn’t obtained, but even if all that is done, just, “We don’t think you had a good enough reason.”
