We are writing to explain why we need to ask you for your consent to any photographs of your child while at school.  

Generally, photographs for school are a source of pleasure and pride for children and young people, and their families, and so are to be welcomed. Children love to have their work / homework / achievements uploaded to our website and social media, and the response from parents is fantastic.

As a school, we will never publish a photograph with a child’s full name (we will never include a surname).

❗️❗️ IMPORTANT - PLEASE BE AWARE THAT UNLESS PARENTS OR CARERS ADVISE OTHERWISE, (BY EMAILING THE SCHOOL OFFICE AT [email protected]) WE WILL CONTINUE TO USE ANY PERMISSION GRANTED PREVIOUSLY, FOR PHOTOGRAPHS AND VIDEOS UPLOADED TO OUR WEBSITE, FACEBOOK, TWITTER, AND OUR BRAND NEW INSTAGRAM PAGE ❗️❗️

• The permission granted by parents or carers is valid for the duration your child remains at Our Lady and St. Edward’s Catholic Primary School.

• It is your responsibility to let us know if you want to withdraw or change your agreement at any time.

• We, the school, will not use the personal details or full names (which means first name and surname) of any child in a photographic image on video, on our website, in our school prospectus or in any of our other printed publications.

• We may include pictures of pupils and teachers that have been drawn by the pupils.

• We may include, if selected, work from pupils.

• We may use group or class photographs or footage with very general labels, such as “Y6 science lesson” or “F2 making Christmas decorations”.

• We will only use images of pupils who are suitably dressed, to reduce the risk of such images being used inappropriately. This may include suitable PE kit e.g. T-shirts and jogging bottoms, or football kits, but will not include unsuitable PE kit e.g. leotards or swimwear.

Many thanks for your cooperation, as always 👍😀😃
