Children on the Isle of Wight had an unwelcome return to school as teachers began running a 'prison-like regime', with toilets locked, flavoured drinks banned and a 'drill sergeant' forcing pupils to stand outside in the rain.
Parents at Cowes Enterprise College were shocked as their children returned home in tears following strict new rules being implemented as part of the new school year.
Toilets have been locked between break and lunchtime, with a shutter pulled down during classes.
A select few students with medical issues have been told to inform their teacher if they need to use the toilets, before waiting for a member of staff to escort them to a special area protected by a key card.
This has led to huge queues for the lavatories at break and lunch, with some pupils telling their parents they did not drink throughout the day to avoid having to face the lunchtime rush.
