    The images that we take of our participants may also be used to promote
    the school and could be published on leaflets, in our prospectus or on our
    website. We will not use your child’s photograph in this way, without
    informing you first and obtaining your permission.
    There are times when Aim Sky High visited by the media who will take
    photographs or film high-profile events. Pupils will often appear in these
    images, which may be published in local or national newspapers or used
    on televised programmes.

    prejudice the interests of your child.
