Photography and Media Policy
Draft — requires owner and professional review
This policy has been drafted for our pre-launch website and reflects the site's current functionality. It will be reviewed by the business owner and an appropriate professional before being finalised.

Our approach
We will only take photographs or videos of children with written consent from a parent or carer, and only for the purposes they agree to.
Key rules
- Photographs will only be taken on academy-owned devices — never staff personal phones.
- We will not publish children's full names alongside images.
- Images will be stored securely and deleted when no longer needed for the agreed purpose.
- Parents can withdraw consent at any time.
- We will respect any host school's photography rules, which may be stricter.
Parents at showcases
Where families are invited to an end-of-course showcase, we will ask parents to only photograph their own child, or to agree photography arrangements in advance, so that every family's wishes are respected.
Website imagery
Images of children on this website are illustrations. We will not present AI-generated images as real photographs of our students, staff or venues.
