Child Protection Policy

The Northcliff Muslim Academy operates the following policy on its website regarding the use of photographs, to ensure the privacy and safety of pupils at the school:

If we disclose the name of a pupil, only their first names are given;

  • If a pupil is named, no image of that pupil will be shown;
    Whenever a photograph is included that shows a pupil, no name will be displayed.
  • The observance of the above points ensures that visitors to the N.M.A. Schools website cannot correlate images of pupils to their names.

The Northcliff Muslim Academy adheres to a policy of seeking parents’/guardians’ permission before utilising any images which include pupils on our website.

No private information about pupils is published on this website such as surnames or contact details.
