Parents have slammed a school's decision to remove the doors to the girls' and boys' bathroom. Pupils returned to Parrenthorn High in Prestwich, Bury, after the summer holidays to find that the doors to the two toilet areas had been taken away.
Teachers told students during an assembly on Monday morning that the doors had been dismantled to open up the space and 'to keep pupils as safe as possible and improve the school environment'. However, one parent said the move has taken away youngsters' privacy and made them feel uncomfortable going to the bathroom, Manchester Evening News reports.
She said: "I am not happy that on return to school today my child finds that the doors to the toilets have been removed - not the cubicle doors, but the doors to the toilets. The privacy has gone for both genders.
