To comply with the Data Protection Act 2018, we need your permission before we can photograph or make recordings of your daughter / son.
We follow the following rules for any external use of digital images:
If the student is named, we avoid using their photograph.
If their photograph is used, we avoid naming the student.
Where showcasing examples of students work we only use their first names, rather than their full names.
If showcasing digital video work to an external audience, we take care to ensure that students are not referred to by name on the video, and that students’ full names aren't given in credits at the end of the film.
Only images of students in suitable dress are used.
Staffs are not allowed to take photographs or videos on their personal equipment.
Examples of how digital photography and video may be used include:
-
Your child being photographed (by the classroom teacher, teaching assistant or another child) as part of a learning activity;
e.g. photographing children at work and
then sharing
the pictures on the Interactive whiteboard in the classroom allowing the children to see
their work and make
improvements.
-
Your child’s image for presentation purposes around the school; e.g. in school wall displays and PowerPoint
presenta
tions to capture images around the school or in the local area as
part of a project or lesson.
-
Your child’s image being used in a presentation about the school and its work in order to share its good practice and celebrate its achievements, which is shown
to other parents, schools or
educators; e.g. within a CDROM / DVD or a document sharing good practice; in our school
prospectus or on our school website. In rare events, your child’s could appear
in the media if a newspaper photographer or television fi
lm crew attend an event.
Note: If we, or you, actually wanted your child’s image linked to their name we would contact you separately for permission, e.g. if your child won a national competition and wanted to be named in local or government literature.
