Teachers 'denied schoolboy, 10, water on the hottest day of the year to avoid upsetting Muslim pupils during Ramadan'
Kora Blagden (left) has complained to the school as she says her son
Luke (right picture, stood on the left) was told he could not drink
water in case it upset pupils who were fastingAn angry mother has accused a primary
school of denying her child water on one of the hottest days of the
year for fear of upsetting pupils observing Ramadan.
Kora
Blagden, 32, claimed a teacher at her son Luke’s school refused to let
the 10-year old drink from his water bottle because it was unfair to
fasting classmates.
Many
pupils at Charles Dickens Primary School, Portsmouth, Hampshire, are
fasting during Ramadan, which means they refrain from taking food or
water between sunrise and sunset for around 30 days, depending on the
moon.
