Parents who have children studying at a number of North East schools are being urged to sign a 'code of conduct' which prevents them slamming teachers on social media, whilst controlling the attire they sport at the school gate. Around 50 schools across the region wish to see guardians agreeing to the rules - which include a ban on bikinis as parents wait to collect their kids.
It will come into force through the Bishop Wilkinson Catholic Education Trust - which covers schools across County Durham, Newcastle upon Tyne and Northumberland. It is also thought to be the first code of conduct of its kind across UK schools.
It lands after teachers expressed their ever-growing concern over the influence and behaviour of parents with The Times reporting that the action has come about after mums and dads were spotted smoking and drinking in the playground.
