SCHOOL SPYING ON PUPILS DURING BREAK-TIMES OUTRAGES PARENTS

CORRECTION: I WANT TO GET THIS AS CORRECT AS POSSIBLE AND HAVE CORRECTED THE ARTICLE BUT IT MAY STILL CONTAIN PREVIOUS ERRORS THAT I MISSED BECAUSE TO BE HONEST, I'M TIRED AND ITS LATE.
 SOME INFORMATION IN THIS ARTICLE WAS WRONG AND THE 'P.BLOG' HAS DONE ITS BEST TO CORRECT THESE ERRORS. 
I WISH TO MAKE IT CLEAR THAT UNLIKE MY PREVIOUS CLAIM, WHEN TAKING PHOTOGRAPHS OF PUPILS (WITHOUT PARENTAL CONSENT) THE SCHOOL DID NOT HIRE OUT PRIVATE PHOTOGRAPHERS, BUT USED THEIR OWN TEACHERS THEMSELVES, WHO WERE STILL TAKING THE PHOTOS FROM HIDDEN VANTAGE POINTS I SHOULD NOTE.
IT SEEMS THAT 'HPS' KEEP THEIR STALKING 'INHOUSE' (andwhat with the school having to ban a teacher from teaching under 18 year olds because he was caught having 'an affair' with a pupil still so fresh in many minds as well).
HOLLAND PARK SCHOOL PRIVATELY 'STALKS' AND PHOTOS PUPILS WITHOUT FIRST SEEKING PARENTAL CONSENT OR EVEN TELLING PARENTS THAT THEY WERE USING PHOTOGRAPHERS TO STALK THEIR CHILDREN.
Holland park school has been using photographers to stalk pupils and photograph them in secret.
I was informed of this by the parents of one child who had been followed around, and secretly photographed on numerous occasions in different places.
Neither parents were asked, nor informed of this prior to it happening, nor were they informed at any time by the school authorities that they would be involving themselves in such alarmingly questionable behaviour.
Nor did the school tell the parents that they had done this either, it was only one pupil later mentioning to her mum that she had been caught smoking during school hours after being repeatedly photographed, that alerted her parents to this at all. Otherwise this questionable activity may of remained unknown to the parents.
Upon finding out and contacting the school, the parents (I will call them 'Family X', just because it sounds dramatic) were not given a copy of the photos, nor were they given the opportunity of looking at the negatives by the school authorities at any time, they didnt even see any of the negatives which left 'Family X' understandably worried about what kind of context the other unseen photos were taken in, and what was going to be done with the photos in the future.
This surely cannot be right? a school secretly stalking its pupils -just to catch them 'smoking'?
And what of the photos themselves? the parents also worry that their girl smoking wasnt the only activity she was snapped doing by the busy hidden lensmen.
A photographer being given carte blanche to photograph teenage girls at his own leisure by the schools very authorities is not only very creepy, it is also a morally questionable activity to say the least.
Speaking to the father, it was obvious that he was still very angry, but because his girl didnt tell him or her mum at the time; mainly because the photos were used as a way to keep the girl 'in line', by threatening to show the pictures to her parents should she 'step out of line again' (in effect using the photos as a blackmail tool against her) they were unable to act during the time it was happening.
The reaction of both parents was that they wished they had known of the photographs existents at the time because they were livid that the school they simply trusted to teach their child was following her about and snapping her when they considered she had done something wrong. How long did they let this go on before they acted?
 The parents considered that their girl smoking was a trifling matter compared to the school secretly following their child around and taking photos of her while hiding in bushes and on roofs! and I cant say I blame them.
I spoke to the dad today and he is still angry at the schools arrogant behaviour, especially when the school was eventually confronted about the issue and were arrogant in their attitude, actions which the father still considers to be of a wrong, and peverse nature.
No notification or request for consent to secretly take photographs of their, or any child in this way was asked for by the school authorities at any time, nor was it seeked from other parents in any way as far as I know from asking the parents of other pupils.
If you have a child at HPS and are concerned about this then please phone Holland park School and ask them if they still carry out the practise of giving carte blanche to photographers, to take secret photos of teenage girls and boys in the school still? But only if you have a genuine interest in this of course, not just for rude or prankish reasons. No no.
