Image Capture

The policy of the School is that the rights of staff, students and visitors to the School, or individuals and groups who are visited by the School’s representatives, should not be jeopardised by any School activity.  The School further recognises its responsibilities towards children and young people.  Images may be captured during events organised and hosted by the School using film photography, digital photography, video or other medium and may be used on the Website, School prospectus, other publicity material (such as internal and external newsletters), exhibition of student work and may be provided to the media for publication in local or national newspapers or educational magazines.  The School acknowledges its responsibilities in capturing images by photography or other means under the provisions of the following legislation.

The Protection of Children Act 1978: The School recognises that it is a criminal offence to take, permit to be taken, distribute, have in one’s possession or publish indecent photographs (including films and other imagery) of children. 

The Human Rights Act 1998: The School recognises an individual’s rights to privacy as protected by this Act.

The Data Protection Act 1998: The School undertakes to inform all those whose images may be recorded (or their parents/guardians if under 18 years of age) of the purposes for which the images may be used by the School.

In this context the School informs all persons taking part in School activities that they may be photographed, filmed, videoed or otherwise captured in image form.  Where possible and practical to do so, the School seeks written consent to image capture.  Where this is not possible for practical reasons, unless express objections are received, individuals attending an event at the School are deemed to have given their consent by attending or remaining at the event.  Any queries or complaints should be raised with the event host in the first instance.
