upil Privacy

  
           
          The PK World Wide Web site has a lot to offer the school, especially as it grows and we all get more used to it as a media and source of information. As such I would not like it to get embroiled in permission forms, bureaucracy and other restrictions. Therefore the idea is to provide a level of protection and privacy to the pupils, while still enabling the site to publish meaningful features at short notice.

For example, it would be a great shame if Eliza's relations around the world could not see a photograph of her in the school play, but there is no need for it to be labelled as "Eliza Brown, aged 12 tel: 289 123456 e-mail ....etc".

Hence we have come up with the following code of conduct for the website:

  1. No pupil's name will be associated with a particular person in a photograph.
  2. No pupil's full name will be given without the express consent of the parents.
  3. No means of direct contact (e-mail address, telephone number etc) will be given for any pupil.
  4. Any parent may decide that they do not wish their child to appear in the school website. They should inform us so, and then any photographs and references will be removed (or in the case of group shots such as the choir we may blur the child's face).
  5. The above applies to the school website. We accept no responsibility for any content a pupil may place on websites hosted elsewhere. We welcome the idea of pupils creating their own home pages and will happily place links from our site to theirs. However, before doing so we would contact the parents to ensure that they are aware of their child's site, and also view its contents ourselves.


Please note that in 4) above the emphasis is on YOU to say that you do not want your child to ever appear on the website. A copy of this has been sent home to each family.
