Is that legal though? I don't know about England but up 'ere, if a head teacher allowed heterosexual teachers to show family pictures but then said a married gay person had to ask permission first, they would be in (rather a lot of) trouble in terms of discrimination laws. I suppose if one felt particularly strongly about it they could put a blanket ban on teachers sharing personal photos/information but I'd have some pretty major concerns about that head teacher!
