Photographs taken at school events

Dear Parents,

It is that time of year where there are lots of great moments that parents want to capture of their child’s time at school. With performances to parents this week we thought it may be a good time to remind parents and carers of our school policy regarding the use of photographs taken at a school event.

At AECPS we formally announce that any images taken at a school event are for private use only and not for public forums. All parents in attendance must agree before any images are allowed to be taken.

‘Parents and relatives of pupils should note that any photographs or video film they take at school events are likely to contain images of other children who will not have given permission to be filmed or photographed. Such images should not be circulated more widely than the family; i.e. they should be for the family's use only. Any photograph or video film taken by parents or relatives must be solely for the individuals families use and must not be distributed more widely’

We therefore insist that you refrain from sharing any picture taken at a school event on social media. This includes but is not limited to Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram and Tiktok.

We cannot wait to share the performances with you, and hope you will support us in ensuring this policy is adhered to for the safety of all children and families in our school community.

Kind regards,

AECPS
