A top boarding school that charges parents £45,000-a-year for their children to stay at the school has refused to clarify its position on transgender pupils after reports suggest they had the option of staying in accommodation that matched their gender identity.
Bedales school in Hampshire, which counts stars like Lily Allen and Daniel Day Lewis as alumni have said that they treat all their 'young people as individuals' after they were asked if a trans girl who was born male, could be allowed to sleep in a female dormitory.
Such an arrangement would clash with updated government guidance which last year stated trans children must sleep in dorms that match their biological sex.
In a statement given to MailOnline, Bedales school refused to debunk claims that their boarding accommodation was making exceptions for trans pupils.
A spokesman said: 'Normal channels of communication with houseparents are very much open [for parents] if they want to discuss any concerns.
'At Bedales, we treat all our young people as individuals, seeking to accommodate their needs accordingly. The school keeps its approach to boarding in line with current guidance and legislation.'
A policy on Bedales website says students who are boarding at the school should be allowed to stay in dormitories 'according to the gender with which they identify'.
Caroline Ffisk from Conservatives for Women told MailOnline the new policies would at the very least violate the school's 'statutory safeguarding responsibility'.
