Parents have been banned from attending their children’s sports day in an extraordinary measure to protect pupils from child abductors and paedophiles.
More than 270 pupils from four primary schools took part in the event – but there were no spectators because the organisers said they could not prevent ‘unsavoury’ characters from sneaking onto school grounds.
The decision to bar parents was made after a risk assessment concluded that Sandy Upper School in Biggleswade, Bedfordshire, could not ‘guarantee the children’s safety’ when it hosted the athletics day.
