Parents have accused a Catholic primary school of 'segregating' pupils who did not pay for a fundraising event.

Christ the King Primary School in Llanishen, Cardiff, held a sports day event during school hours last month which required a minimum entry fee of £1.

But 59 children who didn't pay were stuck in their classrooms, while the other 139 pupils were involved in the games which included axe-throwing and archery.

The fundraiser amassed £2,224 in total and some pupils paid considerably more to fund prizes such as a £119 holiday camp with Sports Xtra, who ran the event.

Furious parents said the schoolchildren who were not involved 'were not even allowed to sit on the field and watch'.
