Photographs of children

  1. This website shows no photographs of children. The pictures are drawings and watercolour sketches of the campus.
  2. At admission we ask every parent whether their child's photo may be used in school publications and on social media. The answer is recorded, you can change it at any time by writing to safeguarding@example.com, and saying no changes nothing about your child's place or activities.
  3. We never put a child's full name next to a photo. A first name is used for an award only with your written consent for that item.
  4. We never publish photos of children in swimwear, changing, unwell or upset, or anything that shows a home address, a name tag or a bus route.
  5. We never identify any child connected with an incident, a complaint or a legal matter.
  6. If you want a photo taken down, write to safeguarding@example.com and it is removed within three working days.
  7. Parents may photograph their own child at school events, but please don't post other children online without their parents' permission.

Staff and visitors

Every member of staff, including drivers and attendants, is police-verified before joining and again every two years. Visitors sign in at Gate 2, wear a badge and are accompanied.

Plate IV

If you are worried

Tell the class teacher, the counsellor or the principal, or write to safeguarding@example.com. Every concern is recorded and answered. Where the law requires it, the school reports to the police or the Child Welfare Committee; we don't wait to be sure.
