Photographs and Videos
As a school, we regularly use photographs (and occasionally videos) to show how our pupils and the school as a whole develop. Images can also help us illustrate and communicate with parents about upcoming events and can help advertise and market the school to prospective parents and pupils.
Parents and pupils really enjoy being able to see their images and would like to give all pupils this opportunity.

Pupils will not be named in the photographs.
Consent to using your child’s images will last throughout your child’s time at the school and will continue to apply for a short time after they leave (except for images published for historical purposes which may be kept for an extended period of time to show the history of the school). You can withdraw your consent at any time and can do so by writing to us at office@pinnerpark.harrow.sch.uk. At that point they will not be used in future publications but we cannot prevent them from continuing to appear in publications already in circulation.
We encourage you to consent to all categories because children and parents love to see school life and to be featured as part of it. We are always use video and photographs sensitively, aiming to show your child and the school in the very best light!
