I bet this was a form designed for two pieces of paper that someone saved
money on photocopying :)
You pose an amusing conundrum.
If you record the data and tick the "Not to be recorded" box, have you then,
by submitting the form, caused the school to break the DPA?

Subject: [data-protection] Ethnic Group (again)
Child at new school, forms to fill in...
The back of the form asks for Ethnic Group (without explanation), but also
has a tickbox for "I do not wish my child's ethnic group to be recorded in
any way" (not even anonymously?) And it'll be interesting to see how they
destroy just the back of the form after I've handed it in, if I ask for no
record to be kept.
