During your child’s time at school, we may take photographs or images of them undertaking a wide range of school activities.  These will be used in and around school, in places that might be seen by visitors, such as billboard or classroom displays, and on school and group websites for newsletters and updates on events and activities such as sports games, parent or open days, fairs, concerts and performances.  

We will store any images in our school archives. We have strict controls over the type of images published and over the use of photographs on our website and we will never sell any materials to third parties. Where we do not have consent the child will be placed on a ‘Do not use’ list to ensure we respect your rights.

As a parent you may withdraw your consent for the use of images at any time.  To do so, please get in touch with the school’s Admissions Department.
