Children at a Fazakerley academy will need to provide “medical evidence” to use the toilet during lesson times.
In a letter to parents seen by the ECHO, Chris Wilson, principal at Dixons Academy on Longmoor Lane, said from Monday May 23, children would not be allowed to leave lessons for a toilet break without a medical pass. Outlining the reason for the move, Mr Wilson wrote that “being prepared for later life means students must learn to manage their time well, including their use of the toilet.”
The letter added: “Any time out of lessons means missed learning time, which undermines their chances of success. Due to this from Monday May 23, students will not be permitted to use the toilet during learning time unless they have a medical pass, which has been provided by medical evidence.”
