School Photos – Thank you for your patience while we investigated alternative options for school photos. After much consultation we have decided to stay with Tempest Photography as we are satisfied with their product and the level of PVG and GDPR. Currently, Tempest will only do group photos outside, not individual. Our hope is in the new year restrictions will be lifted. In the meantime, I am asking you to complete a very short form by 12 noon on Thursday 25th November to understand if there is demand to purchase school photos during this academic year: https://forms.office.com/r/qieZEQQc7J
