This text explains the reasons why and how Churchill Community College may use images and videos of your child. Please read this text thoroughly and confirm your agreement using the attached google f

Why do we need your consent?

Churchill Community College requests the consent of parents (or children over the age of 13) on an annual basis to use images and videos of their child for a variety of different purposes.

Without consent, the school will not use images and videos of your child. Similarly, if there are only certain conditions under which you would like images and videos of your child to be used, the school will abide by the conditions you outline in this form.

Why do we use images and videos of your child?

Churchill Community College uses images and videos of students as part of school displays to celebrate school life and students’ achievements; to promote the school on social media and on the school’s website; and for other publicity purposes in printed publications, such as newspapers.

Where the school uses images of individual students, the name of the student will not normally be disclosed. Where an individual student is named in a written publication, a photograph of the student will not normally be used to accompany the text. However, there may be occasions, for example, if a student has won an award and their parent (or that child if 13 years old or over) would like their name to be published alongside their image.

Please let us know if you consent to this, or not by selecting the relevant option on the form.

Churchill Community College may take images or videos of individual students and groups of students to use on social media, the school website, in school prospectuses and other printed publications, such as a newsletter.

Who else uses images and videos of your child?

It is common that the school is visited by local media and press, who take images or videos of school events, such as sports days and school performances. Students will appear in these images and videos, and these may be published in local or national newspapers, or on approved websites. These may include, but are not limited to, the school website, You Tube, The Chronicle, BBC Newcastle, The News Guardian, ITV Tyne Tees and others.
