We often find that parents like to order pictures from their Child’s time at a school, especially when the child is leaving for the next stage of their education, or for special events such as big birthdays; we like to stay in touch occasionally by email to let you know where to find them should you ever want to order. We also have exclusive offers, discounts and services we think you might be interested in. If you’ve given us permission, we’ll email you so you’re aware of what we’re offering.
We won’t market you by post or call you, we only send emails and/or SMS.
