Pupils across the country are protesting changes to toilets today, with some reporting ‘riots’
Police have been called to schools as the protest over the use of toilets during lessons turned nasty.
In Cornwall a girl was injured after reports of children ‘flipping desks’.
Protests were planned by students after schools moved to lock the toilets during lesson time and for a period over break time.
It is understood some schools are not allowing children to take a bathroom break and have put locked gates in front of toilets during lesson time.
An Essex headteacher said: “Pupils are able to access all toilets before school, break times, and after school. If a pupil requires access to the toilet during lesson time, they request a pass from their teacher and are allowed access.”
