Pupils at The Farnley Academy in Leeds have staged a second huge protest against a toilet policy introduced at the school.

Pupils have been asked to use one set of toilets during lesson time and parents have claimed this has created queues. One parent claimed the policy has led to her son having to wait until he gets home to use the toilet.

Last week, pupils voiced their concerns with a protest at the school and a second protest has taken place this morning (February 27). Large crowds gathered near the school grounds and some pupils held a banner reading ‘human rights’.

A letter was sent out yesterday (February 26) by the school’s principal Chris Stokes, who said there had been “highly abusive, upsetting, and frankly abhorrent” comments made by adults in the community.
