Norwood Primary School in Eastleigh, Hants, sent a letter informing parents and carers informing that their Easter Bonnet Parade and Easter Service will not be taking place this year.

Stephanie Mander, the school’s headteacher who sent the letter, has defended the move by saying it was out of “respect for diversity”.

She said: “By not holding specific religious celebrations, we aim to create a more inclusive atmosphere that honours and respects the beliefs of all our children and their families.”
