 <\/p>\n

A secondary school has resorted to drastic measures to stop vain pupils becoming distracted by their own reflections.<\/p>\n

Wey Valley Academy in Weymouth has taken the controversial decision to remove all mirrors due to \u2018congestion\u2019 in the toilets.<\/p>\n

Deciding he has had enough, headteacher Steven Dyer sent an email to parents informing them that mirrors in the toilets had led to \u2018behaviour issues\u2019.<\/p>\n

He wrote: \u2018We noticed that the mirrors were contributing to congestion and behaviour issues in the toilets, particularly during busy periods.<\/p>\n

\u2018Students were often gathering around the mirrors, which led to delays, overcrowding, and, in some cases, behaviour that made the space less comfortable for others.<\/p>\n

\u2018Removing the mirrors is intended to enable us to keep the toilets calmer, safer, and more focused on their intended use.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u2018Our priority is always to maintain a safe and positive environment for all, and this change has already made a noticeable improvement.<\/p>\n

\u2018We will continue to review the arrangement and take student feedback into consideration.\u2019<\/p>\n

But some parents were left \u2018outraged\u2019 by the decision, slamming the removal of all mirrors as \u2018out of date\u2019.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

One mother, who wished to remain anonymous, said: \u2018As a mother of two young girls in the school, I am outraged.<\/p>\n

\u2018One of my daughter\u2019s friends had to remove a piercing and replace it with a clear stud \u2013 without a mirror to do this safely.<\/p>\n

\u2018Both boys and girls have so many insecurities and I feel this will just add to ever-growing pressures.<\/p>\n

\u2018When asking my children about this, they both replied that the mirrors have \u201cnothing at all to do with the ongoing issues\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u2018I want my children to be confident and comfortable in their place of learning but this to me seems extremely out of date.\u2019<\/p>\n

Another parent said mirrors were not just for checking make-up and hair.<\/p>\n

Pupils may have eye issues or other health-related concerns that need looking at, they said.<\/p>\n
