[Margaret Pilkington]

According to the newspaper article, the Head teacher offered this mother an opportunity to use an office to see her childs teacher privately....this mother refused......I think the head teacher did the only thing that she could to safeguard the many.
This mother may be genuine, but because her face cannot be seen, no-one can be sure exactly who she is....or even if 'she' is a she.

If the mother is not satisfied that the head teacher had the safety of the children in mind when she carried out this rule, then the mother should take her child out of that school and place it where she feels it would be better.
Personally, I can't see why a muslim mother would want her child to go to a Catholic Faith school in the first place.
