Worcester school mirrors replaced with 'provocative' posters

Feb 24,2020 3:04 am

A school has been criticised after replacing mirrors in a girls' toilets with posters containing " provocative" messages.

The posters were displayed at Christopher Whitehead Language College in Worcester.

According to images posted on Social Media some of the quotes included " beauty is nothing without brains" and " make-up is a harmful drug".

The Bbc has approached The School for a comment.

However The School 's head teacher, Neil Morris, the mirrors had temporarily been replaced after a " period of misuse".

" The English department has used this as an opportunity to provide some argumentative discursive Letter Writing , " He Said .

" They put some provocative posters up in The One toilet area in their corridor before The Lesson .

" This has produced some 'frenzied' powerful writing and debate. With hindsight, the posters should have been placed in their classroom area, not in one toilet. "

'Parents quite angry'

Speaking to BBC Hereford and Worcester one parent said images of the posters had " circulated very quickly" via Social Media .

The wording of the posters had made many parents " quite angry" She Said .

" Saying that make-up is a harmful drug, and that it's addictive, saying that boys won't start to like you unless you take make-up off, you'll feel ugly if you don't wear it - I think how they've gone about it is not right and they should have let parents know what they were doing. "

The mum said Her Daughter , who had seen the messages via Social Media , thought the wording to be " quite disturbing".

" I just don't think they're going about it in The Right way, this won't stop Young Girls putting make-up on, " she added.

There had been " ongoing" issues about behaviour around toilets at The School , she explained.

" Apparently there's a lot of bullying going on in there, there are horrible comments being written on the mirrors and it sounds As If the staff have had enough. "

" [But] they could have got parents together, called a meeting - for The Students as Well - and maybe try to get some ideas about how the behaviour can be restored back to how it should be. "
