My wife and I were amazed someone would seek to use the teaching profession to promote an agenda so obviously inappropriate in a primary school.

This lack of sensitivity to primary schoolchildren's needs clearly demonstrates Natasha Thoday's unsuitability for her chosen career.

The only concern of most parents when sending their children to school is they receive a thorough education appropriate to their age and understanding, without distraction from teachers seeking to further their own personal beliefs.

Head teacher Andrew Kearsey is a man of the highest professional standards.

The way he dealt with this unfortunate situation only serves to underline his obvious integrity.
