At St Nicholas Primary School, keeping our students safe, valued, respected and cared for, as well as protected, is our highest priority. In response to the rapid rise of generative AI and the risks associated with online image harvesting and manipulation, we are updating how we share student photos and names on our public social media channels.
What’s changing?
To safeguard our students' privacy and long-term digital footprint, you will notice a shift toward wider-angle group photos, reduced close-up individual shots, and the removal of full student names on public platforms. Fully identifiable photos and individual highlights will now be shared through more secure internal channels (such as Compass).
We know how much our community loves celebrating daily school life, and we remain dedicated to sharing the achievements of our students. However, adapting to emerging digital risks allows us to keep our students safe while continuing to showcase their incredible learning journeys. Thank you for your understanding, partnership, and ongoing support as we take these proactive steps together.
