In the UK I think it's about the same as Síle states for Ireland.
My wife works in the sports department of a high school and often takes photographs of children in events. Some of these have been used in various booklets, leaflets and newspaper articles.
At the start of the school year all parents are made aware that pictures may be taken and they will have either signed an acceptance of this or requested that their child is not included.
However, I don't think this is law, I think it is just an example of good practice and is probably something advised by the local education authority.
