Statement on Use of Photographs

Newbattle High School wishes to use photographs of learning and teaching in order to celebrate the success of our pupils and staff. Newbattle High School, along with Midlothian Council, follows the BECTA guidelines on using images and video safely on school websites.

All parents are asked when their child enrols whether they are happy for us to use photographs of their child in this way. Parents are asked to inform us if they do not want photographs of their child to be used. Therefore we will use images of pupils on our external website, so long as parents have not previously advised us that they do not wish us to do so. We will however follow these guidelines:

• we will give preference to group photos over those of individuals. In particular, we will not use close ups of faces of individual pupils under 18 without the specific consent of the pupil and their parent.
• photographs will contain only pupils in school dress (as appropriate for the circumstances).
• following good practice, we will not use first names and last names of pupils to caption a photograph (including in ALT tags and file names).

All pictures used on this website have been chosen in good faith. However we respect that pupils and parents should always have full control over their images. Therefore if any photographs have been incorrectly included by accident, or if a parent or pupil wishes to withdraw their consent at any time, then we will remove the photograph from the website at the first opportunity. If you wish to contact us about any individual photograph, email the webmaster at D.Watkins@mgfl.net, giving the web address of the page containing the photograph.
