No Photography Letter May 2024
Head Teacher: Mrs A Whittaker 24th May 2024
Dear Parents,
I have had some concern voiced to me this week about parents taking photographs of children whilst on the school site.With sports day, Eid party and Leavers assembly coming up soon, it seems a good time to remind everyone of our rules.
We ask that NO photographs of children are taken and NO filming or recording takes place whilst anywhere on the school site. Several parents have not given permission for this, for a variety of reasons, and they can be very anxious and upset about their child’s image being taken and potentially shared.
Occasionally we may have ‘designated photograph’ areas (such as during the Eid party and Leavers service where parents can photograph their own child against a backdrop for example)- but otherwise we must insist on a ban form using phones on site.
I have asked staff to remind parents about this if they see anyone filming, or using their phone, but I hope that everyone with help us out and respect our school rule.
As always, there is a bigger picture here (excuse the pun!) and ensuring everyone follows this rule is important.
Many thanks for your help and understanding,
Mrs A. Whittaker, Head Teacher.
