It is things (and people) like this that make me long for retirement, and the day I can walk away for good from the insanity that education has now become.

Beat me to it!

As if you hadn’t caused enough grief, you go and say that! This one’s going to run and run…

I personally wouldn’t risk it, but that’s me…

Well, to be (very) pedantic for a moment, it isn’t actually moving…

You’re in the clear - no semi-colons or apostrophes!

Fairly sure that it wasn’t a local who put it there - the comma’s in the right place!

Call me a cynical old whatsit, but this is why I am slightly sceptical of the handwringing (‘the school were absolutely appalled’) coming from the school. There may be a perfectly innocent and reasonable explanation - but I’m struggling to think of one, at the moment!

Agreed - but the school will not know the contents of the agreement, which usually goes out to the parents in a sealed packet with the photo proofs. My focus would be on how the photo company knows which children to include/ exclude.

Tempest are a well-known school photography company - the school would/should have done the basic DBS checks, but they tend not to get too involved in what the company are doing in terms of the service provided and communication with parents. I still say that (except in the most obvious cases of physical appearance) the company could only have known which children to ‘target’ if the school had told them.

That’s what I’ve been wondering. The original press article says that the school have been ‘wonderful’ and are ‘appalled’, but how else would the photographers know who these kids are?

FTFY….

Guilty conscience?

I’ll hoof it over there right now.
