Statement – Student Protests – 26.2.23

As you may have read, there were a number of pupil protests across Cornwall, Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, and Merseyside last week, primarily against uniform policies and changes to toilet rules.

St Ivo Parent Forum is not encouraging pupils to engage in this kind of behaviour at St Ivo school.

We would recommend that parents advise children not to take part if they are invited to.

Our primary concern is the safety and well-being of all students.

As many of you know, we have raised a formal complaint with Astrea Academy and are pursuing change via this route.

We have also have a student survey available on our surveys page to give children a way to have their views heard safely.
