Parents have blasted a school 's new water bottle policy as they must fork out £5 to replace the branded bottles if they ever get damaged or lost.
Wilsthorpe School in Long Eaton, Derbyshire, introduced the policy at the start of the academic year in an attempt to reduce single-use waste.
But if the new bottles, which are branded, get damaged or are lost, parents must pay £5 for a replacement - even though they got the initial ones for free.
