Photographic Policy

 

At Old Leake Primary & Nursery School we think it is important to use photographs of our pupils enjoying the varied activities of school life to promote the positive aspects of the work that we do. We use photographs in our internal publicity materials such as school brochures and booklets, on our corridor and classroom displays, for staff training and assessment purposes and on our web site. From time to time, articles and photographs of special events will appear in newspapers.
 
To do all we can to ensure all photographs of our pupils are used correctly, we undertake to:
 
·         Obtain your permission to use photographs of children by asking you to sign the slip below
·         Observe the County Council’s guidelines on the use of photographs
·         Only use photographs for the purposes stated above
·         Store all electronic images securely and destroy them when your child leaves the school
·         Ask that you follow our policy when you take photographs of your child at school events
 
I assure you that we have a responsible approach to the use of photographs and do hope that you are able to support us in publicising the many positive aspects of the work that we do. I would be grateful, therefore, if you are in agreement with our intentions, that you complete the slip below and return it to the school .This will act as your consent to your child being photographed during their time at Old Leake Primary & Nursery School unless we are advised otherwise in writing.
 
Yours sincerely
