'Angry' Leeds Farnley Academy protester, 14, speaks out on standing up to his school

Protesting Leeds school pupils have spoken out about why their new toilet policy makes them feel “angry and sad”.

Farnley Academy pupils have demonstrated against the secondary school’s toilet policy outside the school grounds at the beginning of two school days, with a third planned on Wednesday (March 1) after the teacher’s strikes have taken place.

Disgruntled parents and pupils are "disgusted" with the policy which they believe is "taking away their human rights". The new policy requires that all but one of the toilets are locked during lesson time, and pupils have to get a note to enter the sole open toilet where a member of staff stands guard.
