"Pupils at two schools in Essex have been banned from having any physical contact while at school.

 

Parents and carers at Hylands School in Chelmsford were told in a letter the ban included "any aggressive contact", "hugging" and "holding hands".

Southchurch High School in Southend wrote "students are not allowed to touch each other", with performing arts, sport and PE the only exceptions.

Both schools said they had received positive feedback.

The school's assistant head teacher Catherine McMillan, in the letter seen by the BBC, said: "We will not tolerate any physical contact within our community.

"This includes any aggressive physical contact, hugging, holding hands, slapping someone, etc.

"This is in order to keep your child safe. If your child is touching somebody else, whether they are consenting or not, anything could happen.

"It could lead to an injury, make someone feel very uncomfortable, or someone being touched inappropriately."

In the letter from Southchurch High School, also seen by the BBC, acting deputy head teacher Ms Murray said: "Students are not allowed to touch each other whilst on site."

Don't kids, especially primary school kids, forge friendships by physical contact?

Young girls often hold hands, link and hug each other...how the hell a sexual or intimidating context can be placed onto innocent interaction between kids, beggars belief.

Texans are huggers. We start that as soon as we can walk.

That wouldn't fly too well around here.

 Contrary to what Meghan spouted, we Brits are not all stiff formality.

Most people I know, hug and kiss friends and family.

But to punish kids as young as five, if they dare touch their friends whilst in school, is quite sinister imo.

Why don't they just destroy childhood and get it over with.  All this woke shite is the modern equivalent of sending kids up chimneys.

Woke is simply a new form of religion and many of it's fanatical followers are very sinister indeed.

Are these private schools or public schools?

While I find this rule to be stupid, I guess if you choose that school for your child, that's your right as a parent.

But if this is the public school and people have to use this school because private isn't financially feasible, this is a travesty.

 They are both state-funded academies.

Backtrack alert...


"A secondary school that banned students from having any physical contact has seemingly backtracked on its policy.

Parents at Hylands School in Chelmsford were told in a letter it "did not tolerate" physical contact including "hugging" and "holding hands".

In a second letter sent a week later, families were told that hugging was expected if children needed "emotional support" from friends.

The school declined to comment further when contacted by the BBC.


Executive head teacher Maggie Callaghan said the original letter, sent on 9 January and seen by the BBC, received "positive feedback from parents and pupils alike".
