Question to the Department for Education:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the staff guidelines issued by the Great Yarmouth Charter Academy that reportedly state that pupils should vomit in a bucket in their classrooms if they feel unwell.

When Insipration Trust took on this failing school, it looked to develop a new behaviour policy at Great Yarmouth Charter School. The final version was published on the school website on 12 September. The content of an academy's pupil behaviour policy is a matter for the individual Trust. However, the Regional Schools Commissioner has sought reassurances that all sickness cases are dealt with sympathetically and appropriately and not as stated.
