A riot has broken out at a Cornwall school, where children have reportedly flipped tables in response to a planned toilet rule change.
Penrice Academy in St Austell prompted backlash on Thursday when it announced students could only go to the bathroom outside of class, and that girls on their period would need to request a “red card”.
Pupils have responded today, with anger boiling over as they protested the rules following a plan posted to Facebook.
A parent of a child at Penrice Academy told Cornwall Live that students were “flipping tables” this morning.
They said: “Just to let you know that my daughter has just called me to say the protest has got out of hand and students are flipping tables.”
The parent added that their daughter said the students are now “not allowed out for their break”.
