Parents were furious when they were told they would not be allowed to photograph their children's first nativity play. One mother said, 'They are making everyone lose out on a very precious part of their family's life. No group photos were allowed. It was only your own child propped against a bare wall. It was such a shock and disappointment.'
Headteacher Harry Burnett said, 'We are consulting with parents and staff at the moment and working with our school board and Parent-Teacher Association to review our procedures.'
He added that, with 320 families in the school, it would take some time to collate answers to a questionnaire given to all parents. The school made a video of the nativity play, but parents will not have access to it until the review is completed.
