Furious parents have blasted the primary which has banned children with less than 100 per cent attendance from their end-of-year bouncy castle.

Several pupils were left in floods of tears after being barred from an end-of-year party, as they watched classmates enjoy themselves, all because they didn't have perfect attendance.

Fuming parents said children were 'emotionally damaged' after watching classmates at Lanesend Primary School in Cowes, Isle of Wight, enjoy the reward without them.

One mother told how her daughter missed out over just a single sick day.

Others lambasted the decision as 'abusive' and staged a protest by keeping their children home.
