A few years ago I went to pick up my sisters kids from school. Their teacher wondered who I was. She obviously thought I looked like a right dodgy character. |

Funny thing is the Head allows pictures to be taken at all the School events as long as they are not posted on Facebook. :-S |

My in-laws stopped by a school playground and watched the children playing, saying to each other that their own grandchild would be in the playground the following year, and were asked by school staff to move on. |

When i recently went to an afternoon school event for my Grandson, there were plenty of people taking photos. They were standing up all over the place and consequently i didnt get to see everything too well. |

I think that is one of the reasons a lot of heads have said no photos but will sell a dvd of the event Sue - another good move, because if you are not in the front row you don't get to see much because of all the parents waving their phones and tablets in the air lol. |

All part of the me me society we live in. "I want a photo of my child so why shouldn't I stand up in front of you and prevent you from seeing your child". |

WELL there two sides to it I guess BUT if a kiddy was abducted from a school playground then everyone would be up arms as to why the school security didnt stop it |

As some of you know,I work in a primary school and there are now rules re taking photos. It is our policy that when any event ie xmas concert or any other, a notice is put up at the entrance to the school requesting that no photographs are to be taken at all or videos. |

I volunteer with children all the time, and yes I take pictures and yes there are rules about which children can't have their picture taken. Maybe I'm very naive but why do people have to put their pictures on socail media? You are taking pictures of your child or grandchild or etc. for your own pleasure not for half the world to see(and for blackmailing them when they get older)(just kidding) |

"prior to any event at a primary school organised event parents are asked before hand if they object to thier child being filmed or named and sign a form of consent..." |

As Brian says, in general, there is no law in the UK which prevents the taking of pictures from a public place, even when these are pictures of private properties. So yes, you can stand in the street and take pictures of a school, its playground, occupants or whatever you wish without fear of prosecution, and you do not need anyone's permission to do so. |

I wonder why people put mundane photographs of their grandchildren or children on the public media sites as if anybody else wants to see what the school play at St Oswalds looked like. |
