A mum has claimed her child was 'humiliated' after a teacher said her daughter "couldn't go to the toilet" despite asking twice.
The mum, who asked not to be named to avoid further embarrassment to her daughter, claimed a teacher at The Oldershaw School on Valkyrie Road in Wallasey, refused to let her daughter go to the toilet in the middle of a lesson on Tuesday, February 7. She told The ECHO her daughter asked for a first time, to which the teacher said no, and then asked for a second time stating how "desperate" she was.
The teacher reportedly denied access to the bathroom again, which led to the girl soiling herself "in front of everyone in her class".

The mum said: "She then became upset and was told to leave the classroom by this teacher, like she had done something wrong, and continued to teach the class inside. He didn't come out to see her and it wasn't until two girls noticed her in the hallway and how upset she was that they took her to the toilets to get her cleaned up.
"She was left alone, distressed and upset in the corridor covered in her own diarrhoea. I didn't find out until she came home and her brother told me that when they were walking all they could hear was people saying 'that's the girl who pooed herself'."
Once the mum found out what happened, she got in contact with her daughter's form tutor to tell him about the incident and that her daughter would not be coming to school.
She told The ECHO: "She has been quite quiet, she finds it difficult to express herself anyway. I'm furious that this happened, I put my daughter in the care of somebody else, and something traumatic like this happens.
"She was denied her basic human right causing her distress and humiliation. I can't imagine how humiliated she must have felt."
The parent has also contacted the school's governing body and plans to take the complaint further.
Steven Fisher, executive headteacher at The Oldershaw School,said: "It is the policy of The Oldershaw School to investigate all parental complaints and to then deal with the parents or carers of that child. Any matter brought to our attention will be thoroughly investigated and if it is found that there are lessons to be learned, then the school will implement the appropriate actions."
