The headteacher of a school in Worcester that replaced mirrors in the toilets with ‘motivational posters’, has defended the decision amid a wave of criticism from parents.
He also, though, conceded that the provocative banners would have been better served by being displayed in classrooms at Christopher Whitehead Language College, rather than the school’s rest rooms. The posters were displayed in the girls' toilets, but not in the boys.
Some of the quotes included ‘Beauty is nothing without brains’ and ‘Dear girls, Make-up is a harmful drug. Once you start using it, you’ll feel ugly without it’.
