POM has instructed lawyers to communicate to @ManorfieldPri putting the school on notice of possible legal action if the school fails to engage with parents and work together for a reasonable solution to the RSE concerns.

Birmingham primary school quickly deletes tweet that revealed its pupils had been given an assignment to write a 'diary of a transgender bear'. "I had a big secret to tell Errol – that I was a girl teddy and not a boy teddy," wrote one child https://t.co/Gw6FEfcUI6

This was sent to me by one of the Manorfield protesting parents. It pretty much reflects the back to front approach the school took to its RSE consultation process.

I'd put my neck on the chopping block and say thousands of parents have had a similar type of experience.

Eight out of the nine governors at Manorfield Primary School are non Muslims, while the school's intake is majority Muslim.

Muslim school protest continues over 'sexualising' relationship lessons

@Bob_cart124 reports from London

[Tower Hamlets Parents Association @THParents]

A @ParentsMPS share the reason for the protest.

It's important to take note that the DfE guidance mentions of 'meaningful consultations' to be carried out with school and parents.

These consultations should be considerate of sensitivities including faith and culture etc.

[Playground Voice @ace_kids10]

Manorfield primary school RSE policy states both 'Ethnicity' and 'Culture' are 'to name just a few of the Protected Characteristics of the Equalities Act'

Schoolboy error that doesn't instill much confidence.

Whoever signed this policy off already has egg on their face.

The first article I've read that names the actual resource involved.

Also contained are @5Pillarsuk and @CF_Farrow Twitter screenshots.

Manorfield is beginning to take up digital column inches after just a single protest, including Pink News.

[Robert Carter @Bob_cart124]

This mornings flash protest against RSE was called after Manorfield Primary released a statement.

It rejected claims Manorfield is teaching about masturbation or pornography to kids.

But said they will continue with lessons and they will include LGBT relationships.

BREAKING: Second Muslim parent protest this week outside Manorfield Primary School in Tower Hamlets against the teaching of RSE.

@Manorfieldpri have now published their policy. They have not listened to parents concerns . The parents are holding a flash protest this morning outside Manorfield to make it clear that parents are not happy and we will not accept this. @lucycwilliamson @MayorJohnBiggs

Protest outside @ManorfieldPri by @ParentsMPS against the bullish RSE policy being enforced by Paul Jackson who is refusing dialogue with parents #towerhamlets @TowerHamletsNow @RSEgir @ParentPowerUK @AgainstRse @TheValuesFoundn

[Tower Hamlets Parents Association @THParents]

@ParentsMPS are out again protesting against the overreaching RSE policy @ManorfieldPri still asking for the headteacher to have dialogue with parents

[Tower Hamlets Parents Association @THParents]

@ParentsMPS peacefully protest using their collective voices and placards.

Information sessions where parents can't ask questions is not consultation. Schools have a legal duty to consult, DfE say it is a "must"

[Parents of Manorfield  @ParentsMPS]

After parents attempted to meet with the Headteacher Paul Jackson to resolve the issue @ManorfieldPri, he has once again outright refused our pragmatic offer to meet and discuss.
