Primary school apologises after teacher tells children Santa isn't real
Families of pupils were left fuming when a supply teacher told their children the "truth" about Father Christmas.
The pupils, who are aged 10 and 11, were making festive cards in class before breaking up for the holidays when they were told there was no such thing as jolly old Saint Nick. The revelation upset several of the pupils who went home and demanded their mums and dads tell them the truth of where their presents under the tree come from every year.
Hill View Primary School, in Bournemouth, Dorset, emailed a letter to parents to “profusely” apologise for the upset caused. The school said it was ‘deeply disappointed’ by the actions of the teacher in question, and confirmed she has been added to the naughty list and would not be returning.
The letter read: “We are aware this afternoon, whilst making Christmas cards, a supply teacher told the Year 6 children Father Christmas is not real. We apologise for any upset this may have caused you and your children and we will be contacting the supply agency about this. Please accept our sincere apologies and thank you for your understanding in this matter."
In a follow up letter sent on Thursday last week, the school added: "Just to update you regarding the incident with the supply teacher, the supply agency was spoken to and the particular supply teacher will not be back at Hill View. As a school we sincerely apologise for this and the supply agency also send their apologies. Thank you for your comments and emails which have been taken on board and we can assure you she will not return to Hill View."
